Hi


This is the only profile I remember on HDR.

She hasn't signed on for a couple of years but everything seemed to be going well.


I had HDR combined with HT and EBRT.

Hi Gary, 


My husband had HDR Brachytherapy, also RT followed by three years of HT. He was Tb3 Gleason 9 and he’s now stage four, back on in the HT & his current PSA is < 0.1 


He was diagnosed in 2015. He takes lots of supplements & sees a consultant at the Care Oncology Clinic in London privately.
He’s doing well, and still enjoying life, 73 next month, still managing an acre of garden and an active lifestyle, oh, and a heart attack two years ago. He had a stent fitted and seems well now. Can get grumpy, and tired sometimes, falls asleep most eves in the chair. He was like this before  the PCa 😉
Hope this helps. 

Leila
