Hi all

I'm going into UCLH hospital this Sunday (day after tomorrow) for some
pre-ops handling and being Hifu'd Monday. Terrific! No more waiting.
Being an idle sort of fellow (idle poor, not idle rich!) I was
available at very short notice to fill in a cancellation. Ah! the
technological wonders of a telephone message.

I don't have a portable/handheld/ palm or whatever wondrous other
modern gizmo Net junkies can now carry around to get their Net fix.
But I'll take my quill pen in with me and be sure to make a few
old-fashioned notes! So give me a few days later in the week to return
to my faithful chunky desk computer, and I'll keep you all in touch as
promised. Anaesthetic could be any time up to (but not necessarily)
three/four hours but I'll be sprinting fast out of the blocks (must
remember to take the attached corked tube with me) on Tuesday. My
great son Nick picking me up.

For late lurkers I appear to be the first Gleason 9 (up to 7 so far)
to have a go with this very new technique. For full personal details
etc my first post was 15th March, subject Hi Ho I'm for HIFU +
content.

My very kind regards to everybody.

Best of luck Mike.

I hope every one of those tumor cells gets boiled to death.

Good Luck, Mike!

The universe is flowing in your favor.

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation,
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events
issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man
could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or
dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

If our experience is any guide, that may not matter. We had a 7 and it
turns out that the actual Gleason was a 9. The biopsy was way
under-staging all around. So some of those 7s may well be 9s. In
which case, your results may belong right in there with the rest of
them. Anyway, good on you for doing this, and best wishes for a speedy
and complete recovery.
