Heard back from nO yesterday about next steps in the brachy treatment route. Am due:
- an assessment day – to confirm suitability and describe process in more detail (I hope)
- a prostate volume study (PVS) – to work out how many radioactive “seeds” are required
- the implantation – when the seeds will be inserted (by needle) into the prostate
It looks like this will take place over the next four to six weeks and will require a good two and a half to three weeks off work. Now just have to wait for the letter confirming dates and times, and schedule the time off work – more joy! Have a bunch of activities and meetings scheduled for Jan and Feb, to say nothing of my routine lecturing. Everyone has generally been very accommodating but even if they weren’t I sure as blazes am not going to put work in front of health.
