Prostate Cancer

[Guest]

FEB. 1, 2001 I HAD THE "SEED INPLANT". I
AM NOW INTO MY 6th MONTH WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO URINATE ON MY OWN. I WORE A FOLEY FOR 2 MONTHS THEN I STARTED SELF
CATHETERIZATION.I AM ALSO HAVING SOME SORT OF RELATIONSHIP OF DISCONFORT WITH
MY RECTUM. EVERY DR I SPOKEN TO HAS NOT HAD EXPERINCE WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.
I AM VERY UNHAPPY AS THINGS ARE AND I AM PRERPARED TO UNDER GO SOME TYPE OF SURGICAL PROCEDURE. MY DR SAID HE HAS NO EXPERINCE DOING SURGERY AFTER SEEDING
AND FEELS HE CAN LEAVE ME WORST OFF THAN BEFORE.
MY QUESTIONS ARE;
1, IF I DO SURGERY IS THE TURP BEST
OR SOMETHING ELSE ?
2, WHERE DO I FIND A DOCTOR AND HOSPTIAL THAT HAS HAD EXPERINCE WITH MY
TYPE OF PROBLEM ?
3, HAVE I WAITED SUFFICENT TIME FOR
THE SEEDS TO TAKE EFFECT ?
ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE WELCOME

I too have not had experience with your individual problem. An institution that does a lot of Brachytherapy should be able to give you that advice. Your urologist should be familiar with the closest such place to your locale.
