In just two weeks from today, I reach my five (5) year mark that I received the Brachytherapy seeds at the Chicago Prostate Cancer Center. Got tested last week and the PSA results are numbers that I like - 0.155. I am still very happy with my choice of the "seeds".

Great news.

Does your body give you any indication now that you had anything done? Do you "feel" the seeds? Is sex still the same, etc.?

Thanks for the update.

Great news! Congrats!

Excellent! I see it has jumped up a few times over the years but the over all trend has been down. That should encourage folks who get slight upticks along the way. Do you remember what your PSA was before treatment? I am really surprised to see you dropped all the way to .12 just 3 months after the seeds were placed.
Regardless, great results 5 years out!
