Brachytherapy for prostate cancer? - incontinence in cancer sufferers
My brother, 65 was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
PSA 8.01. He had his production and bone and CT scan were negative and no evidence of metastasis. He is aware that if it goes ahead with the surgery is a risk of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
I wonder if anyone in a similar situation and if so, what is and side effects, if any.
Thank you very much.

Anyone who had a prostate cancer in 2005 and received radiation of protons existing Loma Linda Medical Center in Loma Universty Lindal California. Proton Radiaiton is very different from conventional radiation, the proton has little or no side effects and cure rate of 90%. I think it is by far the best way to treat prostate cancer, and why not 90% and the rate of cure without side effects .. There is a site called Bob that Proton, says a lot about prostate cancer and the radiation of protons .. When you visit the site and remember to read carefully the section of the evaluation of patients in the former proton patients .. We are all over them .. sold There are also published a book called You Can Beat Prostate Cancer by Robert J. Marckini (a survivor of prostate cancer). It's great. Anyone with prostate problems should read it. You can buy at Barnes and Noble and many other bookstores or can be purchased online at Bob Proton .. 63 years ago, when I was diagnosed and my PSA 8 with a Gleason score of 6 .. My PSA is now.13 .. This is the number three .. I never felt ill or sick one days, during or aftermy treatments .. It was like a trip from 9 weeks in Southern California ... I am a priest ... If you have questions about my experience with radiotherapy for prostate cancer with protons, please contact me here on Yahoo Answers .. again .. I have a lot of control before my treatment and was convinced of the proton radiation therapy has been the best and now I had the treatment .. I firmly believe .. If you read reports of patients, as I said earlier, you will see that everyone has, you say the same .. Have a good day .. Hope this helps ..... Oh, I have all my incontinence and plumbing work still .. like I said ... No side effects .. something .. reasont without the side effects is that 90% of the energy at exactly the point of treatment, the tumor is released ... to the surrounding tissue and organs are not damaged, as in other treatments ... That's better! !
