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.

PSA after salvage Brachy
an update for those that have asked questions about Salvage HDR
Brachytherapy
: I’m nearly 3 months out and had PSA test yesterday. Results were: 0.5. Using Abbott CMIA. This equals the nadir in 2014. Headed in right direction. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
