I had a good friend/coworker who had this exact treatment. In his case, it was the first treatment tried, if I remember rightly. He responded VERY well to the treatment, and has now been cancer free for about two years.
This did, however, cause him to re-think his priorities, so he's now retired (miss that guy).
The worst part for him was sanitizing the bathroom after the treatment. The Doctor cautioned him to have his family members use a different bathroom if possible (it was), and to throughly clean and sanitize the bathroom before letting in his household use it. At least he only had to do that was for only the first couple of days after each treatment.
