  • Hi Olivia,

    Welcome to this friendly forum. I didnt have bracytherapy for my prostate cancer as I had hormone therapy and radiotherapy. But bracytherapy take a fraction on the time of other treatments and usually causes less side effects tham most other treatments. I have read about the side effects of you dads treatment and the good news is the side effect normally disipate in a matter of a few weeks. If they are causing a problem, I would suggest he contacts his medical team as there are medications available which should help. Please let us know how he gets on.

    Sending kind thoughts and best wishes both to you and your dad, Brian.

  • thank you so much for that !!!
