Gleason Scale

I have cancer of stage 1, the scale of Gleason 6, PSA 7. I heard seeds of radiation are very effective with relatively few side effects for cancer at this point. experience with him?

My PSA was 377 and my Gleason was 9 and a high degree 3. I could not use the seeds, but did eight weeks of radiotherapy. My current PSA is .4. My older brother was very similar to you in his score. His doctor uses the seeds and is cancer free after 8 weeks of radiation. He said he has not had many side effects. There will be some, but usually not serious: difficulty urinating for a while, but decided after a few weeks after the end of treatment. You can also feel tired and a little worried. Discuss with the doctor and I recommend going to the store to purchase books and a book called Prostate Cancer for Dummies. May seem silly but you will find lots of use full information in it. Do not fear cancer. At your stage, there is no reason not to believe that you will be totally healed. Incidentally, after the cancellation is done to your taste PSA first step to a month. This is to allow radiation levels to normalize in order to get the best score PSA test. You'll be fine. Good luck to you. Remember --- no fear.

Obviously I have no personal experience with him, but many men have used and have been very happy with the results. Overall I would say the majority are satisfied with their decision. Before you decide to get a second opinion from at least one other urologist. Treatment of prostate cancer is a personal matter and there are more choices out there than most other cancers. You may want a consultation with a radiation oncologist and as they would the fact of treatment. You should also consider proton. Best wishes.

Not me, but my stepfather. He swears by these seeds. In fact, I've never heard of until he tells us. He had prostate cancer and Phase 2. As soon as they are the results of PSA, it has been in hospital under general anesthesia, they injected radio active seeds directly into the tumor. They must pass through the rectum. Ouch, he said he did not hurt, after he awoke. Fine. It did not seem the time the tumor was dissolved. He lives in Florida and called my husband with the good news less than a year that the tumor had disappeared. He has not got cancer from recurring again. So, if your oncologist suggested for you, "I do. My stepfather is 83 and it worked. OK. Good luck and be well.
