Intermediate favorable vs. unfavorable Gleason 7 acc.to 2 doctors + CLEAN PSMA, do we need third opinion +where? (Green Bay/Milwaukee areas)
You should know my husband is opposed to doing a radical prostatectomy and is pretty dead-set against ADT so when the cancer is treated we are leaning towards
brachytherapy

Hemorrhoid treatment after Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
I decided on HDR
Brachytherapy
. When I informed my colorectal surgeon that I would by getting radiation treatment, he told me that he could not treat my remaining hemorrhoids, since the rectal area would be subjected to radiation, and that the tissue may not heal.

is this likely to be late radiation damage? Blood in urine.
I’ve been scouring the internet for advice in my specific circs and finally found this page 🤞 I was treated with chemoradiation and
brachytherapy
9 years ago for 2a cervical cancer. I’ve always had (since the treatment) iffy bowels and bladder - but low level, manageable if I’m careful.

After your endometrial cancer diagnosis, did you do any research? If so, where did you find the most useful information about your cancer?
I had a robotic hysterectomy, with BSO and removal of 16 lymph nodes, followed by 6 rounds chemo and 5 of
brachytherapy
. After chemo, I was followed with CT scans every 6 months until 2018. From that point, I have not had a recurrence and see my gynecologist every year.

I had HD

Lycopene
After my
brachytherapy
my PSA start to increase (0.18). I started including tomato paste (high in lycopene) in my morning breakfast smoothie (about 2 oz). My next PSA was 0.09. Will have another PSA in about a month and see what is happening. Best wishes

Decided on brachyboost plus 6 months ADT
After a lot of research, questions and consults, he has decided on brachyboost (EBRT plus
brachytherapy
) plus 6 months of ADT. It was a tough decision and we both know way more about prostate cancer now that we ever wanted to, but I am glad we did our due diligence.
