Hello, 66 yr old here, PSA was 14 at HI-FU attempt, Gleason 4+3=7. Was told it was roughly 60 % success rate, However, I was unsuccessful with my Hi-FU, and developed klebsiela days after procedure, prolonging the healing process. As it was explained to me, HI-FU ( University of Chicago Medicine) was not able to reach anterior portion of prostate due to distance effectiveness, missed, and/or resilience to treatment. PSA dropped to 8, hovered there for a year or so, and began to rise back to 10. Biopsy confirmed cancer still present. Extremely disappointed with results, I am now (2 years later) in the 4 mth Eligard and 28 sessions of SBRT routine. After Pet scan revealed some recurrence in previous HI-FU treated areas, I declined a repeat HI-FU and declined trying Tulsa, in my opinion , a cousin to the Hi-Fu. Everybody is different, I hope it works for you. BTW, I was not prescribed Lupron with the HIFU treatments, that could make a difference. Hopefully I will get this all behind me by spring, best of luck to everyone.....Happy New Year
