      <title>hormone treatment before bachytherapy</title>
      <description>Hi, I am 52 fit and have no symptoms of prostate problems. On 28/5/07 i
had a routine health check and had a PSA of 12.2 so had a biop and they
found anenocarcinoma but due to incoputant private surgen in Thailand
it was inconclusive. so I went back to uk where after another biop they
found no significant pathology in the right lobe but in the left...
5 cores 26mm, in 2 cores it showed an infiltrating adenocarcinoma,
gleason 6 (3+3) occupying 5% or total core volume. no vascular or
perineral invasion. I had to return to Thailand after biop and had an
MRI and bone scan which were normal. My psa reading is now 13 and
acording to the doc who gave me a digital exam the prostate was small,
so the doc recomended a 6 month course of hormone then bracitheropy. I
dont know if this is good advise so will be looking for a second
opinion. Can anyone please advise. Many Thanks for you timeRecap...psa13 / gleason 3+3 / no symtoms&amp;nbsp;</description>
