1) MR-HIFU (Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and coagulate tissue deep inside the body without damaging surrounding tissue. This is still experimental, in Human Clinical Trials Phase, in the US.

2) Dependent upon the fibroid types, if it's even fibroids and not cancer or other abnormalities, 2 years post recurrence rates for differing fibroid types are in the low teens or low twenties, about the same as other treatment modalities, ie. uterine arteryembolization, myomectomy and hysterectomy.

3) Since MR-HIFU is still in Human Clinical Trial Phase, $25,000.00 US cost is extremely fishy! There is only a handful of centers involved in the studies.

4) 38 year old and preserve what? No matter what type of surgery, pregnancy complications and fetal defects are at a higher rate post 30 years of age. That's not even factoring in the correlation between fibroids and infertility.

5) In the US, medical doctors get their training during residencies and or fellowships. New and experimental techniques such as this will and cannot be master during a wk-end course! You can get burn (ablation .. get it!)!

6) Living with fibroids for these past 5 yrs, where is your OBAMA CARE health insurance? Considering your age and the various health policies, out of pocket cost should be < 8-10K for any standard approved treatment modalities listed above?

7) Wonder if this pt. is real or another PR ploy for surgery kennels in Hoe Hoe land? Maybe this pt. is one of those extended stay visitor in Disney Land after popping out Pluto? Or maybe an extended academic sabatical by one out of those 72,000 CSVN TS scholar studying animal husbandry and its affects upon Hoe Hoe usology?
