I don’t know of one near you, but want to say I just read an article about a hospital on the west coast that is now doing several histotripsies a week with great success and has a waiting list. Just wanted to share the good news of success. The article said there are now 4 hospitals on the west coast offering histotripsy so hopefully some close to you. Best of luck. I hope you’ll post about your experience afterwards.

I was operated on 5 tumors at the Swedish Hosp. in Seattle last May of 2024. Histotripsy was recently introduced and they were only able to reduce some tumors. Histotripsy is developing, and as it is a non-invasive approach but still requires anesthesia (I was put under for 7 hours), I am looking forward to when the killer bots are unleashed. (Still under trial).
