radiation treatment

Welcome to the forum, you will, no doubt, gets lots of useful information here.  My husband recently completed a six-month course of Brachytherapy (internal seed implant).  Three-month results were good and we're hoping for even better final results tomorrow.

Here is there we started ...

PSA 3.74

Gleason 6 (3+3)

Age 44

In excellent physical health and no symptoms

Three month result ...

PSA down to 0.95

Six-month result to follow.

The surgery requires only one day in hospital.  You will have an urgency to urinate and some burning (Flomax is a great drug to help with that).  There will be some fatigue - with Brachytherapy you are essentially in treatment for six months 24/7 so there's not turning it on and off.

Good luck to you, do lots of research and make an informed decision.
