Hey there, I am exploring the PAE option after doing research on the internet. After watching the outcomes of others and reading in various other forums to make comparisons, I'd rather opt for this than the others- providing it's available to me here in Europe. I have not had any procedure other than an indwelling urethral catheterization going on three months. I see this urologist this coming Monday. Maybe I'll get some answers. A PAE for P. Cancer? This is a good question. I can only guess at this point that they would need to have the exact location of the cancer. If they can do this with the radioactive seed implants, maybe. But this treatment is for shrinking the prostate without taking finasteride and tamsulosin and other bladder-specific drugs. I would ask this question definitely.
On your end, I'm happy you're already planning a back-up, they say everybody is different- doesn't this make us the same? I hope EVERYTHING turns out in your favor with a LASTING outcome. Please keep us posted, often. I'm hoping that you'll hear good news!
