[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 5802092, member: 54866"] As others have said, there are a number of ways of treating this, your urologist will be more than open to considering them, there is external beam radiotherapy, where they zap you externally from different angles so that the point they are trying to hit gets a hefty dose, there is brachytherapy which is the implantation of radioactive sources inside the target tissue and then there is surgery. As you might tell I have had to write an extensive research presentation and prostate cancer and brachytherapy are talked about in it a lot. There are minimal side effects of brachy therapy and you will probably only need an outpatient appointment for it. It has a very high success rate so is worth talking to your urologist about. Having an enlarged prostate is nothing to automatically be frightened of; it is very common in older men and would be considered normal, but it is something to be aware of and that is why men are screened. There are very very high survival rates with prostate cancer. [/QUOTE]
