Hello Jon-b and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I hope this information we have about brachytherapy for prostate cancer will answer some of your questions but hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.
You can also discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease about what's to come.
I hope this helps and that all goes well with your treatment when it begins.
Hi Steph thanks for your reply and information after some thought I thick I will go down the surgery route and have the prostate removed taking the cancer in one hit I hope it works out together the right move .
We do have quite a few prostate cancer members within our community so fingers crossed some of them will pick up on your post soon and share their experiences with you.
Good luck with everything Jon-b, and remember that we'll always be here for you.
