/Cystoprostatectomy/Cryotherapy Anybody have any knowledge or studies that might suggest a direction? Still hoping for the possibility of a cure and avoid the ADT train awhile.

Ongoing issues
I had radiotherapy, chemotherapy and
brachytherapy
. I have since had a colonoscopy, bowel biopsies, a SeHCAT scan and EPI test because of terrible bowel issues.

Advice needed on treatment options
I had
brachytherapy
on prostate cancer in 2015 stage T2c, Gleason 3 + 3. My PSA fell from from 4.27 to 0.82 by the end of 2017. Then the PSA started gradually rising, reaching 2.86 by the end of 2021 and I started experiencing lower back pain.

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.

Mo recommending proton?
In my case it was necessary to educate myself fully about proton vs ebrt,
brachytherapy
which took some time.The discussion with mo went in the direction of trials not conclusive on outcomes of one over another and proton centers having large financial burdens. But!

Brachytherapy for womb cancer
I am to have
brachytherapy
in the next few weeks and wondered how others had found the experience. I have consented to this as at my age of 77 l want it to be over and gone as soon as possible and the other option was 30 days of radiotherapy.

After your diagnosis of uterine cancer, how was your experience with the healthcare system?
However, since it showed serous features, my oncologist recommended chemo and
brachytherapy
. Not what I was expecting, but I wanted to hit this thing with everything available to reduce my chances of recurrence.

Any suggestions for headache?
After initial diagnosis in 2015, I've had EBRT;
brachytherapy
; chemo in 2019; ADT since 2019 chemo; two bone Mets on spine since 2019, but no detectable PSA. Have been on Orgovyx since December, 2020. Still have everyday, lowgrade --- not migraine --- headaches, for which I take Excedrin.
