Brachytherapy..

Hi MM and welcome.

You don't say if it's high dose brachy or the implanted seeds but I presume the latter.

Side effects are normally short term and can include urinary problems, ED, constipation and some inflammation,/burning issues.

These issues can continue for 6-8 weeks after treatment but possibly longer.

I had external beam RT and physically I was back to normal after a few months, perhaps ED problems took a bit longer.

Regards

Steve

Thank you for replying.  He had implanted seeds so  I said I would ask for him.  I was on the Carers Forum a couple of years ago but sadly my Husband died of Prostate Cancer.   He left it too late before seeking help.   He had a fear of Doctors and Hospitals which went back to his childhood.  Margaret  x x

So sorry to hear that Margaret.
