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.
