If you go to http://www.yananow.org/exp_data.php?desc=All

an click on the Brachytherapy link you can page down and see the experiences of

men who have had this combination – there are not too many because it is

a rather unusual option.

All the best

Prostate men need enlightening, not

frightening

Newly diagnosed - Update

Saw director of Urology, Tufts Medical Center Boston,

yesterday for a second

opinion. Dr. Generro Carpinito started out taling up surgery and its successes.

However, after we discussed the facts of my particular case he backed off. My

previous heart surgery, current emphesema (moderate), and my age make me a less

than desirable candidate for surgery. He concurred with my Dr. Curran that EBRT

and ADT are the best course for me. It was worth the trip into the city. My

only question now, when I go back to see Dr. Curran on the 29th is regarding

the

feasibility of EBRT, Seeds and ADT. Has anyone had any experience with that

course of therapy?

Tomorrow I go back for a re-do of the Pelvic MRI. Apparently, there was

" movement " during the procedure. I'll have a little discussion with

the Tech

prior to the test since I wasn't aware of any significan movement on my part.
