Cancer Free for 6 years after HIFU

I received HIFU treatment for my prostate cancer in 2010. HIFU is now FDA cleared and available in the US.

Hi Glen Happy to read that you are six months out ... may I ask how your quality of life is? Hows E.D. and urine control? Also, does HIFU eliminate ejaculation? Forgive me for muddying your good news with questions that might be about the bad.

No ED and no incontinence. That is why I chose HIFU. Yes HIFU does eliminate ejaculate, but orgasms seem more intense. I did have to go offshore to Cancun to have the procedure. It was not approved by FDA at the time I had mine in 2010. Best decision of my life. Glad to share my experience with you by phone if needed.

Take Care

Glenn,

Glad that you are doing so well.  Where was your HIFU done?

Glenn,

Did they do just a part of the prostate or did they do the whole prostate?
