Hello Rontatt.

What kind of Brachytherapy just out of interest.
High Dose or permanent seed.

My husband had permanent seed therapy a couple of years ago and most of his side effects have gone.

If you had a lump come up two years ago, why has it taken so long to get a scan on it. Did you report it at the time.

Maybe others who had Brachy will be able to reassure you. Loose bowels can be a problem following Brachy but dark urine every morning?

Do you drink plenty of fluids and are you taking Tamsulosin?
