Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2005any Canadians had HDR Temporary Brachytherapy?
Sorry all - I've de-lurked again! On my 3 mthly evaluation today at SCGH, I met the Dr. who would be doing my HDR Temporary Brachytherapy. He's just new at SCGH, but has been specialising in that in Canada for some years. I can't mention his name here, but would be pleased to hear from any Canadians on their experiences, outcomes etc, in this treatment. -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC Hi Clarence.......I too have de-lurked again. My husband (Ron) had HDR brachytherapy at Sunnybrook Hospital's Cancer Care Centre in Toronto, Ontario in the summer of 2003, followed by EBRT. As far as I know, it was the only Canadian hospital doing that particular treatment at that time.......and there were 3 others to follow. I would be happy to discuss his treatment with you. There are two doctors in particular who are specializing in HDR for prostate and breast cancer that we dealt with.

Dr Joseph's my main man but he was on hols yesterday. Nurse Rosemary gave me the shot of Lucrin and I've also met and spoken on the phone to Nurse Geraldine. I have to have 5 wks EBRT starting late March prior to the HDR possibly in July.
