Hi @johalla, welcome to the Prostate Cancer group. Deciding on treatment is a cross-road all men face when dealing with prostate cancer. It is the subject of many discussions in this group. For that reason, I moved your question to this existing discussion called "How to choose treatment for prostate cancer?" started by @irishpat70.

I'm confident that members like @ken82 @assad4zamani @dandl48 @cmartin65 @waynen and others can share their radiation choices and experiences with you.

Johalla, what criteria are making you tend towards Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy?

Well the LDR is a given. The question really is do I want to shorten that a little and do an HDR after or just do more LDR and no HDR at all.
