something treatment of little radioactive seeds being implanted- does anyone know what the side effects could be, or any other information that could help me understand this?|||You don%26#039;t mention how old your dad is, but was watchful waiting not mention as an option to him, or does he not want to wait and see how it progresses?

A lot of early stage prostate cancers regress on their own, or stop growing. Depending on his age, he might just want to keep an eye on it and do nothing to it for a while. You would be amazed at the amount of people that die with prostate cancer and not of prostate cancer.

Removal of the prostate at this point will be highly disencouraged because of the high risk it invoves, so if he really wants to get rid of the cancer, brachytherapy is a good option.|||not sure on that but i use the supplement called DHEA that u can purchase at any nutrition store and study and research show that it can help with the prostate and strengthen it. not a permanent fix but an alternative to assist.|||I%26#039;m a 60-something with several friends who%26#039;ve done this, and it

has worked in each case. Of course, surgical removal means the cancerous prostate is gone and the cancer with it.

%26quot;Early-stage%26quot;? I%26#039;d go for the radioactive implants. The half-life is quite short, but long enough to do the job.

God Bless
