SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA
Following prostate cancer first treated with low dose
brachytherapy
, then ten years later with high dose
brachytherapy
, from a biopsy following a Turp, I was diagnosed with SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA. From a CT scan this was found in my prostate, bladder, and lower colon.

my first post
I’ve had
brachytherapy
, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, cyber knife, immunotherapy, more chemotherapy, now taking Everolimus and letrozole. I’ve always felt that this was a chronic disease after the medications stopped working onto the next regimen.

Today was a good day
We also met with the radiation oncologist this morning to discuss
brachytherapy
boost and it was a very positive meeting. It’s definitely a contender and we really liked her.

High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy Doctor Recommendation For MD Anderson
Does anyone have the name of a HDR
Brachytherapy
Doctor that works at MD Anderson. If I don't suggest someone, I will get potluck. Hoping for someone with a great reputation For a transperineal biopsy I can recommend Justin R.

Hormone therapy for the older generation
My calendar is telling me that I've just completed 12 months of hormone therapy (prostap) and my PSA after radio and
brachytherapy
when last measured was 0.01.

radiation treatments led to perforated colon?
Looking through my records I find no mention of these side effect statistics for the IGIMRT or for my salvage
brachytherapy
. Would the knowledge have inclined me toward surgery? I don’t know. But, I would have made a better informed decision.

Nocturia
Ever since my radiotherapy and
brachytherapy
2 months ago I have been suffering nocturia, sometimes being forced awake 5 times a night by a painful call and having little or no product when staggering once again to the toilet for a little dribble.

Newly Diagnosed
The cancer is contained within the prostate but given the fact that the cancer is throughout the prostate my Urologist is recommending either Robotic Protatectomy or
Brachytherapy
. I am overwhelmed trying to make a decision about how to proceed with a therapy.

New Member saying Hello
His brother (my uncle) was also treated for PCa using
brachytherapy
. Although the family never talked about it, my mom believes that my paternal grandfather also had prostate cancer, but he also had many other health issues and died in 1971 at age 65 from a massive heart attack.

Which Treatment for These Biopsy Results?
I am considering LDR
Brachytherapy
, but my HOLEP 12 years ago might preclude BT. VMAT IMRT + HT, VMAT IMRT without HT, possibly LDR
Brachytherapy
, Active Surveillance are the only treatments available to me in my neck of the woods. Which would you recommend given my stats.
