Thank You so much for the information it was very helpful.
Do you have any long term side effects from the brachytherapy? I’ve read urine or bladder incontinence can occur. Will you share the brand of dilator you purchased?

@paz1956 I don't have any long term side effects from the brachytherapy. I don't have any urinary output problems or incontinence. I purchased a set of dilators that allowed me to start with a narrow one and gradually increase the width over time.

Yes, the cancer diagnosis in a sense is just the beginning of the process. There is lots to do following diagnosis and treatment to keep yourself healthy.
How are you feeling today?

I had three sessions of brachytherapy in December 2023. There were no side effects. I do need to use a dilator once to twice per week. It was not a problem.
