Very nice! With his stats, brachy was a good choice other than AS.
Keep us posted and best wishes!

His URO actually recommended AS, but after meeting with the Radiation Oncologist, he decided to go forward with Brachy. He doesn't regret that decision. He feels perfectly normal 6 months out.

Hello Sharon and Mike - and a BIG CONGRATS from me on that 6-month number!!!!!! Not surprised, and glad to hear Mike's continuing to do so well! Here's for lots more of the same - and I'll take a Bud Light please!!!
