HIFU

Postby Tim UK » Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:18 am

Hi

Last week I had HIFU (focused ultrasound) treatment in Oxford, UK, on my two persistent mid-line scar mets. Each is about 25mm wide and embedded in muscle and scar tissue, about 5mm below the skin of my abdomen. I won't be able to update you all on results for a while but, in the meantime, if anyone has queries or comments on the procedure itself, I figured it could be useful to open up a topic. Still on the Barcelona trial after 18 months ...

Best wishes to all,
Tim

Hi Tim

Best of luck with this and with your clinical trial.

Looks like I’m similar to you in that I’m in london too at the marsden, only just arrived here though so I may have some questions for you in the future if you don’t mind?

All the best
