This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: Radiation fo young men?

Ron ... Terry is right, read the stories. These procedures affect people differently.

I had seed implant OP surgery in 10/07 with follow up external beam radiation in 12/07 & 1/08.

With absolutely no symptoms prior to the implant, I continue to experience urinary and ED problems but slow, steady improvement is noted.

PSA in 9/07 = 115. PSA in 7/08 = 3.

I don't regret having it done but didn't expect the lingering side effects.

Good luck in whatever you choose.

Re: Radiation fo young men?

Thanks Terry & Phred, I am reading them all now.

Phred, do you now personally wish you had chosen the surgery?
