Low dose brachytherapy long term side effect risk

@majortee I don’t think I’ve come across your particular combination: IMRT with LDR brachytherapy; it’s usually HDR.
Can you tell us what the reasons were for this type of treatment? Thanks,
Phil

That's a good question. I honestly want to ask you the same question as it relates HDR, as all of my friends and family have only been offered the low dose Brachytherapy. I am Intermediate risk BIG 7 on one sample with negative encroachment on the walls. This probably isn't enough info to answer your question, but I accepted the LD Brachytherapy after IMRT as being the norm. So I am somewhat surprised by your question. Maybe someone else in this group can enlighten us as to when HDR is recommended over LDR with patient receiving IMRT, Brachytherapy and ADT.
Thank you for the question, Phil
