Guest guest Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I wanted to post an update on my husband who is 65 years old. After being diagnosed 3 years ago with a 4+3 and GS of 7, he finally decided on treatment. The doctor re-biopsied and re-scanned and everything looked good. So, on Oct. 7, he had 46 Iodine 125 seeds inplanted (LDR Brachytherapy). The procedure went quicker than expected and Moffitt Cancer Center was wonderful to work with. While it is clear that he has some side effects such as urinary frequency and was initially a bit sore, things have gone amazingly well. The only medication that he is on is Flomax. He was encouraged to start walking almost immediately. On Nov. 5, he ran and and completed a 5k race and next week we are doing a 5k Turkey Trot before having the family over for Thanksgiving. Thank you all so much for your patience with my questions! Low PSAs and blessings to all. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
