Prostate Cancer treatment: Radioactive Seed Implant

[bobst]

I have recently had a radioactive seed implant procedure and seem to be recovering ok. This procedure occured after receiving Lupron shots (90-day) for 3 years. I am looking for comments from others who have had this procedure and what, if any, complications they have encountered. While taking the Lupron shots I experienced 'hot flashes' and took medication for it. After the seed implant I no longer took the shots and expected the 'sweats' to stop. That does not seem to be the case. Your input on this, or any other aspect of this treatment would be greatly appreciated.
