I was 3+4=7. Could have chosen any treatment. In choice selections, I was down to 2 . Brachytherapy or SBRT. Even though I believe Brachy is the better of the two, I chose SBRT. Because the expert for Brachy that I wanted to go to was in CA. I just finished SBRT this week. Before treatment I had 4 fiduciaries installed and a balloon. Not pleasant. My Dr chose the balloon over Spaceoar ? Side effects: Fatigue, Burning when urinating, inflamed rectum and triggered very angry hemorrhoids. 😡 I can say more, but I won’t. Not comfortable at this time. No ADT required at this time.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you are feeling better soon, from everyone’s responses on the post seems like the SEs are short term. Good Luck!
Everyone sharing their experiences has really helped me and I have decided to move forward with SBRT. Spacer placement is at the end of this month.

Not looking forward to any of this...ugh
