My PC Diagnosis 2022
My brother in-law told me to ask about
Brachytherapy
(internal radiation), at the time I didn't know what it was called so I asked about radiation pellets inserted in the prostate. He told me that this wasn't used that much anymore.

Why not brachytherapy for PCa infected lymph nodes? The study below was not for PCa but was fairly successful.
Material and methods: Between February 2015 and April 2019, 14 cervical/endometrial cancer patients presenting with bulky pelvic node(s) underwent nodal interstitial
brachytherapy
boost in our institution. In total, 17 nodes were treated.

Surgery+radiation+ADT orRadiation + ADT
Brachytherapy
possibly not an option due to previous TURP. Questions are: What are benefits of surgery? Would Surgery+radiation+ADT possibly lead to a cure, or at least a shorter amount of time on ADT or longer time to recurrence?

LDR brachytherapy at MSK: Day after treatment
Hi all, I posted here about three weeks ago that I'd decided on LDR brachy -- radioactive seed implants -- as monotherapy, having decided between that and HDR brachy and SBRT. They were the three options that my RO at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) had said had very good and equal outcomes as monotherapy

Does Erectile function come back after radiation treatment+brachytherapy+2 year ADT?
Did radiation treatment+high-dose
brachytherapy
+2 year ADT. Has anyone among you recovered their erectile function after such a treatment? PSA was <0.1 and testosterone was <20 while on ADT. Finished ADT in Sept 2021. 6 months later, testosterone (T) is low-normal at 378.

Focal laser therapy or focal HDR Brachytherapy?
I'm considering either focal laser thereapy or HDR
brachytherapy
. ED and incontinence are my biggest concerns. Does anyone have any experience with either method or with Dr. Eric Walser (laser) at UTMB, or Dr. Albert Chang (
brachytherapy
) at UCLA?

Questions for 2nd Meeting with MO tomorrow about reaction to 2 months on Orgovyx and Zytiga
They said the size of my prostate even after 12 years of Avodart precludes me having
brachytherapy
. RO and MO said they can treat me with “ curative intent “ as shown in STAMPEDE trial.

I’m consider it instead of
brachytherapy
radiation and having trouble gathering meaningful data points. Thanks.

Focal laser therapy vs. focal HDR brachytherapy?
Walser at UTMB in Galveston, or HDR
Brachytherapy
with Dr. Chang at UCLA. Risk of ED and incontenence are my greatest concerns. Does anyone have any experience with either method or or either Dr?

Is this pointing to cancer becoming castrate resistant?
Before this I had
brachytherapy
in 2011 for original diagnosis of Gleason 3 + 3 cancer and cyber knife + 9 months ADT for extra-capsular recurrence in 2016/2017. Since November 2018 I had a nine month ADT break and currently I am at six month point of a second break.

Drinking More H2O Only Exacerbates My Incontinence
Even though I am still alive and feeling good 17 years post RP, (BCF 8 years ago) I often wonder if I should have chosen a different procedure such as
brachytherapy
?

One Year Out
After 6 rounds of chemo (on a 3-week cycle), I underwent 25 radiation treatments followed by 3
brachytherapy
sessions. Other than losing my hair and 20 pounds I needed to lose, being overly tired and having chemo-brain for about 8 months, the journey had minimal effect on my life.
