Just found the PRDA!
After surgery, chemo, pelvic radiation and
brachytherapy
for an aggressive endometrial cancer, I thought things were ok. But bowel issues have been challenging as well as pelvic insufficiency fractures. I struggle to achieve balance and quality of life.

PSA bounce after LDR brachytherapy?
Hi all, First, an update, as my last full update about various issues was five weeks after LDR
brachytherapy
(almost two years ago), in which I reported that, thankfully, I had no urinary, bowel, or sexual function issues.

Need Help Interpreting My PSMA/PET SCAN
The prostate is present and contains
brachytherapy
seeds. There is a mildly F-18 PYL avid focus in the region of the right seminal vesicle with SUVmax of 4.85. No other abnormal F-18 PYL avid focus is noted within the prostate although there is a low level of the diffuse activity. 2.

Cyproterone and Blood Pressure
I am currently on LHRH hormone therapy in preparation for radiotherapy followed by HDR
brachytherapy
for my locally advanced PCa, T3a Gleason 8, no visible mets fortunately. I have been suffering from quite unpleasant hot flushes which have shown no signs of going away.

Help deciding on treatment
Gorovets to discuss
brachytherapy
, he didn’t think that all three therapies were necessary, but had a slight inclination toward option 1 (SBRT + 6 mos. ADT) given my .55 Deciper score. Gorovets apparently studied under Dr. Zelefsky.

Sword of Damocles
Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and
brachytherapy
, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect.

Chemorads/Brachytherapy late side effects
Just wondering if anyone else experiencing the same? I’m now 4.5 years out of Chemorad treatment with all clear scans.

Long Journey
A few months later,
brachytherapy
then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising fast. Brought an MO into the mix. I was placed on Lupron, Xgeva and Erleada (apalutamide).

Need Help
I had HDR
Brachytherapy
in 2018 to treat prostate cancer. The specifics are now in my Profile. For the past 6 years my PSA has bounced around but mostly under 1.0. In June 2023, PSA was .86 but my Primary Physician noticed that it had elevated 3 times .29 to .35 to .86 in 3 years.

My journey thus far
I have also read that a combination of
brachytherapy
, EBRT and a short course of ADT could work in the case of high risk PC. Now that I am really digging in I find the massive amount of available information somewhat overwhelming, but I am much more open to RALP than I was initially.
