Hi, my husband just got diagnosed with Gleason 7 prostate cancer, and recommended RARP in Beaumont- I am very worried of the surgery's side effects, and nano knife sounds like a great alternative. It seems to be available in London as well as Germany, Italy, Switzerland. Has anyone tried to get this covered under the Treatment Abroad Scheme?

Thank you very much
Dear pimpa.
Thank you for posting on our online community forum. I was sorry to read that your husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am sure that this is a very difficult time for you as a family.
Hopefully, you will hear from other’s who can answer your query. In the meantime, the best way to find out if your husband can have Nano knife treatment outside of Ireland is to contact the HSE’s Treatment Abroad Scheme Office:
treatmentabroad.scheme@hse.ie
