Hi Cadillac 1949

Thanks for you post asking others if they have had High Intensity Focal Ultrasound HIFU.

While you are waiting for others with lived experience I have provided a bit more information that may be helpful.

HIFU is a treatment option for men with early stage 

prostate cancer – and can only be done prior to any radical 

surgery or radiation treatment.

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) delivers 

energy soundwaves to your cancer. An ultrasound 

probe is gently placed in your rectum, which provides 

a visual image of your prostate

HIFU treatment in Australia is currently not covered under Medicare or Private Health Insurance

This gives some further detail

Please reach out to the Prostate Cancer Foundation Telenursing Service on 1800 22 00 99 if you would like to chat about this or any other concerns.
