Hi, I am new here. I was recently diagnosed with PC following my Dad's diagnosis.
I am 54. My PSA was 4.97, MRI & Biopsy revealed Gleason 7 (3+4) contained. I have been given 4 treatment options. AM, which I don't want to consider as fell I would be doing nothing while it potentially gets worse. Surgery, for which the potential side effects worry me, plus being out of action for so long when Dad is not well (He has stage 4 that has spread widely). Radiotherapy, which is 5 courses of Stereotactic Radiotherapy over 2 weeks or Brachytherapy. I was told all are 95% effective, so I've been told it's all down to my choice.
Does anyone have experience of Stereotactic Radiotherapy or Brachytherapy who could help me with my decision. I would appreciate peoples experiences and thoughts on this.
Many thanks.
