[QUOTE="BrianTheElder, post: 1381653, member: 311044"] Hi I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009 and had an operation straight away. The reason I had an operation is that I had a procedure called brachytherapy in which radioactive pellets are planted in a grid in your prostate. This was leading edge stuff at the time, but there were quite a few options even then. Things have moved on quite a lot and there are many and probably better options available now. After one year the consultant told me I was cured (yes, that's the word he used). I have recently had a small op for skin cancer as well. Although it is obviously worrying at the time, I have had quite a few friends who have had various radiotherapy treatments and all have been successful. The main thing is to catch it early and that's obviously what they've done in your case. Good luck with everything. At least the biopsies can stop now!l [/QUOTE]
