After lots of reading and interviewing five or six doctors--uros and rad
oncs, I decided to go with seed implants. Two days out, I'm about as I
had been led to expect: sore where the needles were used,burning when
urinating and stream weaker that before the treatment.

Anesthesiologist opted for general rather than spinal, cause he said he
had more control over the process. I was in the operating room for about
2 hours plus. Then in recovery for another hour or so. I wasn't paying
much attention to the clock

Came home with prescriptions for oxybutynin and xycodone.

I go back to see the uro in about two weeks. The rad onc wants to do a
CT scan in about three months.

Thanks to all the folks in this newsgroup who contributed, directly and
indirectly, to the knowledge base I needed for decision-making.

Any Arizonans reading this might be interested that my treatment was in
Sierra Vista.

Now, to see what happens over the next few months and, I hope, years.
