Brachytherapy going forward

Hi ladies & Gents,

I have just got my yearly PSA results back with no further action required <0.1 and will not report below these levels, i think it's the same as last year so it's 8 years since low dose brachytherapy and overall not to bad apart from the ED and maybe being 78 this year i will have to accept life as it comes.

I am hoping that my Journey  with Brachytherapy will help others with their decisions and what procedures to take.

I log in every day and offer advice if i can but understand the fears and worries of fellow members as it's a hard choice to make while under so much pressure. I had the choice of surgery or brachytherapy and only decided on brachytherapy because i didn't fancy going under the knife and also a close friend had good results and recovery from it.

Regards John.

Great news. I am a little bit behind you. I have my fourth ( 24 months ) blood test next week. So far going in the right direction. I still feel very tired however I’m not sure if that is just my natural laziness. Thank you for your advice and support at the start of my journey. Why don’t you celebrate by having an empire biscuit! 😂
Take care
Dave
