I have never heard of Hifu, Jake. Is this considered experimental? If so, you might want to verify that Medicare/insurance will cover it. Here's hoping that this works out for y'all.
Here you go Jake.Update while looking online we saw a video about Hifu, and it says they do outpatient non invasive treatment for all kinds of cancer and even bone cancer for terminally ill too. They say that it's 20 to 25 mins and it burns nerve endings causing the pain and kills cancer cells, but not good cells, video showed and older woman in video about Marie's age walking around and she said she's got some of her life back and goes for walks each day now and without the terrible pain the bone cancer was causing her, It also says they do prostate and it doesn't hurt prostate but kills cancer keeps the good cells. I thought about @Tony Page and @Cody Fousnough , y'all might check it out too.
So this morning I went around and around with Cancer Drs. because after calling UF about Hifu, they told me she needs a referral from cancer Dr., before seeing her. Spent hours convincing them how Marie doesn't do good with meds, which does not even work half the time for her, been with her 47 years and has me at my wits end watching her suffer pain for 7 months now. Told them if they kill nerve endings and cut pain some she will not have to keep eating all the Tylenol, delaudid, xannex etc, and maybe she could have a little quality of life in her last days. Anyway a lot more was said before it was over and she finally said I understand darling and I just have to figure how to send the referral to them and ok it with her Dr, will call you back the later today and let you know it's done.

I have used DMSO for around 50 years and have never had any kind of side effects or issues with it. Doctors use DMSO when they are doing organ transplants, to keep the new organs safe. There are some good books about DMSO on Kindle, and some you can read with Kindle Unlimited.I have used DMSO for arthritic pain in my hand, and it worked almost instantly and would leave me pain-free for quite a while. It worked so well, and so quickly that it scared me, so I don't use it anymore. I'm not sure what pains, if any, it might be safe for.
I know that I have mentioned using both DMSO and MSM for pain before, and i do not remember if Marie tried either one or not; but they are also used along with other cancer treatments, and I can’t see how trying it would hurt at this point. You do not need any kind of recommendations, and both products are cheap and easy to use.
Since Marie has trouble swallowing the large pills, and the MSM ones are huge, it would be better to get the powder which can be added to any kind of liquid. I have added it to my coffee, but it would be better in lemonade or some kind of juice, and there are no side affects, just pain relief.
Since Marie is having trouble finding pain relief without side effects, I wanted to mention this again.

For anyone taking opioids it can be dangerous without medical supervision...I did a little research. So guess mom will have to consult her doctor but thanks for posting.
