I can't imagine having 29. Personally I felt the anaesthetic was a complete waste of time. I could have killed the operative when she said I will just take one more to even things up!

Hi Steve yes I'm just the same it was not nice i can still feel it when i think about it now i know why you have a nurse there trying to keep you busy chatting to you hope your results come back ok i got mine last week and was graded a 4 then urologists' got a second opinion and now a 3 i have cancer but its slow going they just need to keep eye on my PSA now if it gets any higher i will have treatment what ever it will be

Chris, hi. If I may, I wonder why you chose brachytherapy over surgery. When you say there are side effects, may I ask what you've been experiencing?
Thank you.
