Will Seed Implantation Procedure Help Cure Prostate Cancer That Hasn't Spread And Gas Problem ?
yes, I am a 65 year old diagnosed with prostate cancer and today I will inform my urologist of the treatment I would prefer after studying searching informing myself. will go with the seed implantation. since its relatively effective and it hasnt spread. MRI and Biopsy of the organ indicates still it hasnt spread given theyve checked the bones, blood, etc. symptoms are small to none outside of the Gleason score of 6 and the PSA of 15.2 and of cause the biopsy which revealed positive there. urination isnt bad my only problem is passing gas?

Seed implantation is an option if you are too weak to undergo radical treatment for prostate cancer. The standard treatment for stage 1 prostate cancer ( I am assuming its stage 1 by your description), is either radical removal of the prostate (surgery), or radiotherapy. I suggest you get in touch with a cancer surgeon before embarking upon the treatment since a urologist is not the best person for this.
