How this treatment impacted my life the most

Honestly it hardly did - but I'm only 3 weeks post-op Catheter was inconvenient for a week! Currently have twinges in the bowel, but not sure if they are linked to treatment.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Well the treatment was quick, easy, in my case almost painless. Contrary to expectations for HIFU I was treated on the NHS. The only question is - did it fix the problem - but working that out will take months to years. However it looks like I will be kept under scrutiny, so what more can I ask.
