Brachytherapy: Regrets & Why ?

I’m four weeks out from my last of two HDR brachytherapy treatments. Initially, I had minimal bleeding and urgency issues, but those have since subsided. The only lingering issue I’m experiencing is chronic fatigue, which I hope will improve as I continue to heal. At this stage, I have zero regrets. Of course, the true measure of success will come later. For me, this was the best option, as I wasn’t an ideal candidate for surgery.

By HDR BRACHYTHERAPY
treatments, you are referencing the procedure of seed insertion?
So TWO sessions and 4 weeks apart?

I was told that for me it's ONE and done. Then nothing except for continued orgovyx before external beam radiation begins 4 weeks later.

So you have yet to receive the external beam radiation?

Thank you for helping me understand what these processes entail !
