Well, here I am, 7 weeks after brachy seed implants. As I’ve explained, so far I’ve been in really good form. No real side effects that have bothered me. Not feeling fatigued at all, well no more than I would have before the brachy treatment (with a very active lifestyle, which could be compared to Eddie Izard in his marathon mode, but without any makeup and being of definite male and not neutral gender). I have to admit to a little loss of libido, and all that goes with that, but that’s not a massive loss while England keep progressing in the euros! The thing that has happened is bleeding from my Jacksy (in doctor speak, rectum, anus or in Japanese - Ahso). It started as a sputtering around the pan, then more so. It has been proper red, not dark red, and not in the stools. I reported this to the specialist nurse, who said not to worry as it was normal at my stage. She also said to ease back on my gym and running until the bleeding settles down. I had a couple of days of no blood, then it came back. Then it stopped again, so I went for a little run. That turned into a walk involving some blood, as I tripped on a massive stone that was embedded in a verge and it sent me flying head first to the ground. It’s been Sore ribs and not bleeding from my jacksy have meant I’ve been swimming only for the past few days,
So now I’m wondering if anyone has else has had similar bleeding at 7-8 weeks after brachy seed implants and whether I should prepare myself for anything else now?
all the best one and all…
