After all of the anticipation, I am now the proud owner of 107 I-125 seeds planted gently in my prostate. Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that bad after it was all said & done. I checked in to the hospital last Tuesday at 5:30 AM and was home by 11:00 AM. Best of all, I wasn't escorted out by old man Foley. I did have to self cath. to pee before I left, but that was no issue with a guy with my experience. Had a little discomfort, but that was expected. Also had to wait some time and get a little help in the BM department. Worked about 1/2 day Thursday and Friday.
I guess the main thing I want to bring out is that if you are thinking LDR Brachytherapy, but are not quite comfortable with the idea, it's not so bad. I realize not two people are exactly the same, but the procedure worked well for me. I just hope when it's time to harvest, there isn't anything there.
