In February it will be 2 years since treatment. PSA still .3 after a high if 5.5. The worst part was during the first month after treatment. I had pain in the prostate area but used a ice pack almost
all the time. Finally the pain deminished. If you had received the video about the treatment you
would think there was no pain at all and you just resumed your daily activities. I had low urine flow and took Flomax for several months. I was taking Vesicare on and off to take care of the urgency
to urinate. Sexual function has been good. I do take Cialis as a boost, but can get erections without it.

I had researched the treatment for about 3 months. My Oncologist said my prostate was small and only required 60 seed implants. I was a good candidate for this treatment.

Hope this helps and if you have more specific questions please post.
