Salvage Options after Relapse
I had 1 treatment of HDR
Brachytherapy
at UCSF. PSA consistently dropped (to 0.5) until 2020 when Covid halted my trips back to UCSF. 2021 had me preoccupied with DVT/PE. I’m now reading 3.2. MRI showing still contained in prostate. PSMA Scan next week to confirm.

Dr Scholz' Opinion on Brachytherapy
I haven't received this treatment myself but it could be a future option for me. Dr Scholz says that it is rarely recommended because so few practitioners include it in their bag of tricks. There are politics and economics involved -- other treatments (gasp) are more profitable for urologists! Dr Scholz

Newly diagnosed Stage IV Metastatic Prostate Cancer
I had
Brachytherapy
followed by 25 session of Proton Beam Therapy of the Pelvic area. I thought I was cured. Earlier this year my PSA started rising to 3.9. Gleason Score now at 4+3.

Any experience with these after HDR
Brachytherapy
? I had HDR 4 months ago. Stage 2, G=3+4, etc. With a less than 10% probably of spread. Still not -0- and I want to make sure. I've limited access to quality healthcare. PSA has gone down to 2 from 9.

Legal issues when/if you tell your employer you have PC and need an extended treatment?
I'm trying to get my radiation treatment scheduled (combo
brachytherapy
+ 5 weeks of xray beam (IMRT?). Are there any recommended resources around protections from being let go by your employer due to the time off I might need?

Debulking Radiation Options
Other literature treatment references include SBRT, hypofractionated, proton beam,
brachytherapy
, etc. Do any of these other techniques show improved outcomes for debulking w/ confirmed distant metastic disease?

Ruminating on Extending ADT&Zytiga beyond 18 months
I am 15 months post HDR
Brachytherapy
with EBRT. PSA Continues to slowly decrease and currently is 0.06 last week. Last scans did not detect bone Mets or soft tissue Mets and suspected node no longer is visible. MO said we can consider stopping ADT at 18 months.

Treatment: Unfavorable Intermediate Risk PCA
McBride ruled out
brachytherapy
due to the size of my gland. He thinks I am good candidate for SBRT (MSK Precise) because the disease is confined to the prostate. He also suggests 4 months of ADT because it significantly improves the odds of biochemical recurrence free survival.

Fiducial Marker and Rectal Spacer Placement therapy at MSK
It sounded like
brachytherapy
from what I was. Apparently, my dad is a borderline candidate for this, having 6 markers In the prostate instead of 5, which is ideal for the procedure. If he doesn’t get this form of treatment soon he loses the option, so he is scheduled 8/5.

Excessive bruising after brachytherapy, normal??
Hi all, Just finished my first course of radiation HDR
brachytherapy
. Will be getting my simulation for IGRT shortly. For those of you who have had brachy did you have major bruising to that whole area including your penis?
