Prostate Cancer Seed Implant - Cancer: Prostate Message Board

We would appreciate knowing if any one has had a problem returning to work in a week after the seed implant. My husband has to give his employer an estimate and is afraid that a week (which one doctor suggests) may be too soon. Thanks so much for the information.

A good idea after having any type of surgery is to go back to work part way through the week, rather than starting on Monday. That way, if your husband is tired or uncomfortable, he only needs to make it through 2 or 3 days rather than the full week. I don't know the recovery for seed implants, but this has always seemed to make sense to me.
