No one here discusses seed radiation, just surgery. I have been
diagnosed with prostate cancer. Gleason 6, infection % of biopsies
5%.DRE's and PSA's for 25 years have been good. A series of kidney
stone xrays showed some bone growth in the pelvic and hip area's. Doc
said for years not to worry because bone scan looked good. Just osteo
arthritis. Latest stone xray was highlighted by xray doc and mentioned
the words bone islands and osteo bomblastic arthritis. So Uro Doc did
biopsy. I am having a bone scan done and a ct scan to look for further
problems if any. I realize something is going to be done to treat at
least the prostate, but don't see any mention in group here of seed
implants.

I have been all over the net looking for info. What's the best site
for general info. Been using Web MD etc.

The best group is alt.support.cancer.prostate. Some of the participants
there have had seeds,  and will answer your questions.

Hi Dan, I've had a seed operations about 11 years ago.  And I had a
reoccurrence and a cryosurgery three months ago.
If I can help you, e-mail me.

See my post above about the Radio Therapy Clinics of Georgia (RCOG) or at
http://www.rcog.com They are tops!

Best,
