My good friend did have them implanted and it resulted in a malpractice lawsuit that was settled out of court. Turns out the urologist implanted two of the beads in his colon wall, not the prostate. That resulted in destroying his colon wall. He has had bowel movement problems and incontinence problems ever since.

I'm glad you're under good care and with your other half to ask questions and care for you. I'm a firm believer to take all the treatments early on and be proactive in scheduling appointments consecutively...sometimes there too much delay between appointments. Take care and positive thoughts sent your way.

Why didn't they request that a week ago when Dr. B already had the scan results? Sometimes all these appointments back and forth and waiting for another, etc, take months, allowing the cancer to keep growing. I am a firm believer of once you have a diagnosis then start the treatment ASAP. Sending positive thoughts your way.<br /><br />Hopefully you will have time for a wee shake down trip in the new RV in the near future.Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-22982078715531218562019-08-15T08:32:58.932-04:002019-08-15T08:32:58.932-04:00Sounds like a good plan..You got this!!!Sounds like a good plan..You got this!!!Dennis and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320009741335075781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-60370765515685041382019-08-15T08:16:50.793-04:002019-08-15T08:16:50.793-04:00The plan sounds good with some options.
