butt is extremely sore where the shot went in.

I had a gleason of 6 and a PSA of 6. I year ago I had 28 IMRT treatments
and seeds. After 6 months PSA was .15, after 9 months .2 and now after

has had back pain (other than standard muscular back pain, which he

Father near 80 years old has a Gleason 9 that has not metastasized.

terrific. The only problem is a few drops when standing up, otherwise
