Brachytherapy: What to expect for short and longterm effects?

just a simple anecdotal
apparently there is considerable prostate cancer in my family (genes)
I had RARP, my brother radiation.
However, our 96-year-old uncle had brachytherapy maybe 30-40 years ago
He recently reported to me that he and my aunt are still living in the same house since the early 60s (independently) and bumping into each other's walkers
I was diagnosed too late for this option and am certainly not believing it is the best however, I will take 96

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. With all the cancer in your family, you should definitely get hereditary, genetic test testing to see if you have a genetic problem that could make the cancer more aggressive.
