I had HIFU Feb. 2019, everthing went well for me. It only took 2 1/2 hours. I am now cancer free going on 5 years with no side effects. One week after HIFU my cather was removed without any complications. The follow up was PSA every 3 months the first year , then 6 months , then once a year. I have a yearly exam with my Urologist. So far my PSA has remained at .85 to 1.02
