Thanks, John, Christine, Brian. The annoying aspect is that I had no symptoms UNTIL the treatment started, and the second month is expected to be worse as the radiation takes effect. My family history meant that my PSA level was being watched closely, and at the first sign of acceleration the biopsies began and eventually found the very earliest traces of cancer. I'm told that noticeable symptoms indicate a serious tumour, and treatment at that stage is necessarily more radical. In that case I'm glad to have traded a few biopsies and a brachytherapy procedure for what is a very nasty piece of surgery backed up by a gruelling course of external radiation. I'm sure I'll feel lucky after the dust has settled. regards, Anthony -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
