    “I was so grateful that there was an alternative for me. You know for sure with hormone therapy/radiotherapy/full prostatectomy that you are not going to be back to normal. It gave me hope, and everything was realised that I wanted to be realised.”
    Jim
    “My initial phone conversation was good and very clear about the possibilities and I felt happy about the idea of HIFU.”
    Viv
    “I was treated very professionally by the staff at The Focal Therapy Clinic and compared to the options I was offered here in Ireland it completely saved my quality of life. For that thank you.”
    Tom
    “I had felt concerned about undergoing hormone or radio therapy which is what he had been offered, and this concern was affirmed by my conversation with Brian, who recognised it was 'a hell of a thing to do'. I decided that HIFU sounded by far the best option.”
    Denis
    “HIFU is something people need to be aware of – I believe this treatment should be more widely available and more widely promoted. It wasn’t something suggested to me as a possibility by my urologist and I actually raised it myself. I would recommend HIFU and in fact have recommended it to others.”
    Keith
    “When I contacted FTC, Brian went through everything that can happen – it was good to speak to someone knowledgeable and empathetic. Talking to him opened my mind about what options there were.”

    “Following my conversation with Brian I had a consultation with Mr Dudderidge at Spire clinic who recommended me to have radical robotic surgery, following CT scans. This has been successful so far. My decision was made following the expert advice of Mr Dudderidge and I am very pleased with all of the information and expertise in my treatment both from Brian and Mr Dudderidge.”
    Andrew
    “If it hadn’t been for you I wouldn’t have found Mr Dudderidge so I can’t thank you enough.”
    Vernon
    “I found Brian's information and advice to be excellent. I felt he was the kind of person I could call any time and that he helped me through the process.”
    Paul
    ”My treatment, and pre and post info, was great. I had opportunity to have HIFU and Tim was very positive in difficult times being the start of the pandemic. The result is so far very encouraging and I would recommend HIFU to anyone assuming they are in the right profile; indeed I have since to several friends.”
    Richard
    “The side effects were nothing major and have now cleared up, and the pain went away within a couple weeks – it was better than having your teeth out! When I was doing my research about treatment options after my diagnosis there was a lot of bad press and negativity: then I found HIFU and it was so reassuring to know that there was something out there that was less scary.”
    David
    “Just a short note Brian to thank you for your advice which is very much appreciated.”
    Keith
    “I found is I was reading something that says, you know, are you happy on active surveillance? Within two hours, I had filled in the online questionnaire. And it wasn't so very long before I got a call back from Brian.”
    Perry
    “My conversation was very useful. At the time I hadn't been aware it was possible to get HIFU on the NHS, I understood it was only normal if you partook in a trial. I had a consultation with Mr Nigam where I learned he could have it done on the NHS.”
    David
    “I hadn’t wanted to have either several weeks of radiotherapy or to have my prostate out – my wife and I wanted to be able to continue to enjoy our life together as normal, and focal therapy was the best way for that.”
