I just wanted to add something to what hrputnstuf said. My husband had brachytherapy in Feb of 2017. His oncologist said he was not to have a colonoscopy for at least a year. We just saw the...
Thank you for your replies. Jim, it may well be that a seed migrated, that had not occurred to us. But after the 6 month check-up and CT scan the oncologist said that one seed had gone "off course."...
Hello. This site was extremely helpful to me and my husband when he was diagnosed and had brachytherapy for prostrate cancer in February 2017. Since then, his PSA scores have continued to fall - he...
Thanks for sharing your experiences....
Thank you. Talking to oncologist tomorrow. Things have been better today since cutting back on water intake....
Thank you for your replies. So, it looks as if it is not the Flomax that is creating the frequency, but in fact he may need to take more Flomax or a different drug so that he doesn't feel like he has...
This site has been so helpful to me and my husband Rick. So I have another question that has been bothering us the past few days and hoping you can help. My husband had brachytherapy Feb 7, 2017. At...

Thank you again for all your responses. I cannot adequately describe how much this forum and the opportunity to ask questions of people who have been through what my husband is experiencing mean to...
Thank you so much. I can breathe again. It's strange when you know that you are probably over-reacting but have no knowledge, experience or wisdom to look at things calmly. I have been reading so...
Thank you for your reply Michael. I will keep monitoring the page....
This forum was very helpful to me earlier. My husband Rick had brachytherapy three days ago. Today he has some rectal bleeding, not gushing but on toilet paper and some in toilet each time he goes to...
Thank you....
I believe it is the ldr seeds. After reading so much on this site today I realize how little my husband and I really know. That much change. Thank you for the words of calm....
Thank you so much for your words. When I looked here I actually felt that people were reaching out to me to bring me ashore when I was drowning. The feeling of being saved was overwhelming. I am...
My husband had brachytherapy yesterday. Today he is exhausted but has to get up every 15 minutes because he feels he has to urinate. Can he take a sleeping pill? Or is that a problem? Is there...
