YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only  two rules: no commercials (although it is quite OK to recommend treatment choices and medical people based on your personal research) or fundraisers and no flaming - be polite at all times. Since we are aiming for it to be a true International Forum it would be good if you showed your country in your post. Return to Website

Subject:   Re: hifu mindwarp trivia from planet earth Name:   Ted Date Posted:   May 3, 08 - 9:56 PM Email:   tedcoxhead@yahoo.co.uk Message:   Hi TV. I just got interested in HIFU since I was left with 9.4 grams of prostate after a robotic surgery. I don't yet know if I have cancer in my remnant. If I do I will choose either watchful waiting or radiation or HIFU. The sloughing and passing of debris with HIFU would worry me. I am continent now and for me the thought of a supra-pubic or even Foley again is almost worse than radiation side effects. Since I had a TURP already, which is when my cancer was found, and I have had the bulk of my prostate removed, do you think blockage would be a risk for me if I took the HIFU road? I ask you as someone who has had the treatment and who has read widely about it. I have read your story and Fred Gillick's and Eric's and I am not confident. It is difficult to get much info on this since so few have had it. A specialist in HIFU I consulted tells me that he does not see much stricture these days and the treatment would be ideal for me. Well, yeah, but...... Ted from England Replies:     Re: Re: hifu mindwarp trivia from planet earth by TV from Canada · May 4, 08 - 8:20 AM
