My husband has just been diagnosed with recurring prostrate cancer. Last time he had brachytherapy treatment. He now has 3 options removal, oncology, cryotherapy. Just wondering if there’s anyone out there in a similar position Thankyou

Sorry Bracy did not do the job. If he has been offered removal and cryotherapy it indicates the cancer is confined to the Prostate. Not sure what treatment you mean by oncology, as this could be several different treatments including EBRT or systemic treatments. Cryotherapy rather than HIFU is probably being offered due to postion of cancer. Cryotherapy is likely to result in milder side effects but surgery more certain albeit with potential for more severe side effects. Cryotherapy is not widely used in the UK so you might not get much personal response from people that had it.
