In the U.K., the NHS (National Health Services) has denied Hifu (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to victims of prostate cancer.

The U-turn comes despite the research published last month in the European Journal of Urology which found that _eight_ out of 10 men were healthy five years after being treated with Hifu.

The groundbreaking ultrasound therapy has been shown to kill _nine_ out of 10 prostate tumours, and five years after treatment, 80 per cent of patients show no sign of the cancer recurring.

Good point mattcy… I knew I’d forgotten something in that.

So my question is:

How do *you* feel knowing that men are being killed off when a treatment is available that could save their lives?

OK, so it may not affect all of you (e.g. those in another country) but if you were in England, or had a very close relative (Brother, Father, Uncle, Nephew, etc.) who did live here – would you think it ok that the UK government spend endless amounts of money on Breast cancer – but won’t give a proven treatment to men?

Thoughts..?

My pointer is 5 years old and has recently been to the vet because of not eating,weight loss,arched back and trouble walking and we were told that he had an enlarged prostate. The doctor squeezed the gland and put him on antibiotics and he showed great signs of improvement within the first couple of days and returned to normal heath thereafter. He was back to his normal self for two and a half months and just last night his health dropped dramatically. We let him out this morning and he had major trouble walking and as the day goes on he keeps getting worse. He cannot walk and he has not gone to the bathroom. He will eat with no problem. He does not cry\whimper or show any signs of being in any pain other than not walking. If anybody could please tell me what I can do for him until I can get him to the vet tomorrow?!?!?! Also if anybody has experienced anything like this please let me know what occured before, during and what the outcome was.
