brachytherapy
boost in high risk patients yield completely the same results).

What questions should we ask re brachytherapy boost?
Hello, we are trying to get an appointment with a radiation oncologist to ask about
brachytherapy
boost as a potential alternative to RALP. What questions should we ask when we talk to her? Thank you!

3months Post-HD Brachytherapy
Follow up from my previous post & many thanks to the helpful advice from members here. I scheduled a teleconference with Dr Albert Chang at UCLA in November, scheduling is 3 months out so treatments were Feb.3 and 6. Normally a week apart but since I flew in they did 3days apart. We stayed at the Luskin

HDR boost Brachytherapy + IMRT
Hi all, This is my first post since being diagnosed with g9 metastatic PC. PSMA PET showed several pelvic lymph nodes with Mets, but no other spread, and bones are clean. I’m trying to finalize my choice of radiation treatments. I’m currently on Lupron and Zytiga, and PSA is dropping like a rock

SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA
Following prostate cancer first treated with low dose
brachytherapy
, then ten years later with high dose
brachytherapy
, from a biopsy following a Turp, I was diagnosed with SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA. From a CT scan this was found in my prostate, bladder, and lower colon.

Best Salvage Brachytherapy and SBRT locations
I'm close to Duke Cancer Center and they have a RO there who does salvage
Brachytherapy
but he's only been practicing for 5 years so I doubt he has as much experience as I'd like. I think my RO's right when he said you want someone who has done a lot of these.

my first post
I’ve had
brachytherapy
, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, cyber knife, immunotherapy, more chemotherapy, now taking Everolimus and letrozole. I’ve always felt that this was a chronic disease after the medications stopped working onto the next regimen.

Urinary urgency after treatment .. occasional
I’ve had
brachytherapy
(5 months ago), external radiation (3 months ago), and ADT for 9 months ended 2 months ago. Gleason 7 unfavorable. Sometimes it happens and I really focus on stopping it and it goes away. When I do use the restroom often my bladder isn’t really that full.

Newly Diagnosed
The cancer is contained within the prostate but given the fact that the cancer is throughout the prostate my Urologist is recommending either Robotic Protatectomy or
Brachytherapy
. I am overwhelmed trying to make a decision about how to proceed with a therapy.
