Hi all!

Anyone else had Brachytherapy for prostate cancer?

Ive recently had my 3 month post op review & the PSA blood test showed that my hormone level is now low enough to be “normal” range.

All signs are good & everything is positive & I should be relaxing a bit but I’m worried that this is not the last we’ll see of it.

I cannot help worry that it’ll be back at some point !

Plus, the constant peeing or needing to know where a toilet is, or getting up lots through the night is getting me down. Then I’m thinking to myself that I should not be moaning if this is the only side effects I’ve got to deal with ….

Crazy thoughts but, here I am looking for answers or help maybe??

Hi my husband had the opp Jan 22 and had the bladder problems after. He did the pelvic floor exercises religiously and had his bladder under control after about 6 months only up once in the night now. Keep doing the exercises and fingers crossed your PSA stays undetectable.

Unfortunately my husband’s has started to rise and he is being monitored closely.

Good luck
