Hi all,

Just wondering how long it is taking people to get back to sports after ldr brachy? I play padel a fair bit, run and golf occasionally. 

Thanks

  • Hello  

    I have just noticed your post hasn't had any replies - by me replying it will go back to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by someone who has "been there - got the t-shirt".

    We have some general advice in this link:

    Being Active After Treatment.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hello Joode

    I didn’t have Brachytherapy therapy so not sure if this helps but I had 20 x RT and rested from sport for about a week after. It was and is still the  long term Hormone Therapy pre and post RT that has the major effects on any sporting prowess for me.

    Best wishes Richard 

  • Thanks Richard - I think the issue with brachytherapy is dislodging the seeds inserted into the prostate. Wildly different info about it online…
