Hi,
My 79 yo father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, gleason score 7 and intermediate risk,
Awaiting consult with oncologist to discuss treatment options, I am just wondering if anyone has experience of nano knife surgery in UK? How was it and how effective? The low risk of side effects looks promising as my father is very worried about all the different side effects of treatment options here in Ireland.
Also is it covered by hse treatment abroad scheme if it is an option.
Thanks in advance for any replies
