Incontinence after Brachytherapy
My husband had
Brachytherapy
yesterday and everything went so smoothly and the whole process from start to finish was excellent and uneventful. No issues yesterday but today he is getting intermittent incontinence. Is that normal right after the procedure and goes away in a few days?

Gleason 8 on HRT
The oncolgist compared external radiation and
brachytherapy
, highlighting that
brachytherapy
offers more focused treatment with potentially fewer bowel side effects. We discussed practical aspects such as hospital stay duration and recovery time for each option.

Salvage Brachytherapy
has anyone here had salvage
brachytherapy
? High dose radiation
Brachytherapy
is being recommended for me at MSK pending results of a very recent MRI to determine if I can have it. Sounds promising….administered with carefully placed needles over two sessions two weeks apart.

Order of brachyboost
Does anyone know if there is any difference in outcomes if you do the LDR
brachytherapy
before EBRT or vise versa? Initially we were told it would be EBRT first. Now it looks like the RO is scheduling the
brachytherapy
first.

and one arm receiving one dose of LU-177 and one dose of HDR

Brachyboost and PSA progression free survival question
”We can proceed with EBRT followed by LDR
brachytherapy
boost and minimum 6 months of ADT (as per Japanese randomized trial (IJRPBP 2023), where 6 months vs 24 months of hormones together with EBRT prostate
brachytherapy
boost in high risk patients yield completely the same results).

"Pros and Cons of Various Forms of Radiation Therapy vs Radical Prostatectomy for Men in Their 50s"
Brachytherapy
allows for radiation and ADT for recurrence. Radiation after surgery leads to bladder and rectal exposure, as those organs end up in the prostate bed. I wonder what options men in their 50s are choosing and why.

Hello, we are trying to get an appointment with a radiation oncologist to ask about
brachytherapy
boost as a potential alternative to RALP. What questions should we ask when we talk to her? Thank you!
