Focal Therapy

Frankie53
Offline

I have been diagnosed with grade 1 cancer of the prostrate following a biopsy and am currently on Active surveillance  I.E. 3 monthly blood tests. 

At some point I will have to make a decision about the choice of treatment, if and when the cancer grows. As documented elsewhere there are usually only 3 types of treatment generally available. However we are hearing on the news more & more about Focal Therapy and it's various forms. Does anyone have personal experience of this form of treatment?

  • Hi Frankie53,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK - I'm sure this has been a lot to process.

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies - particularly if others with similar experience find your post.

    We have nurses available if you'd like to talk this through at all or if you have questions. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Do of course discuss this with your doctor too as and when you get the chance.

    Wishing you all the best,
