External beam radiation

Hi I have been diagnosed with localised prostate cancer. PSA 7.2 Gleason 3+4. Treatment is going to be external beam radiation. Was told I need 10 doses but am have 5 at double strength. I’ve had metal fiducial markers injected into the prostate to guide the beam, along with a spacer to keep the prostate away from nearby tissues. Anyone had this treatment.

  • Hi Maltaman,

    I am no Doctor but that external beam radiation might be a good option.

    The doctors will advice you better. You can pay for a consultation and seek a 2nd opinion if you want.

    No treatment is perfect.

    With surgery you will 100 percent have dry ejaculation for the rest of your natural life.
