I can’t imagine having any sort of hyper-invasive and destructive procedure except possibly under general. Drug-induced amnesia and a little fentanyl isn’t going to cut it for me. But glad you’re doing well!

I did 5 weeks of radiation treatment followed by the seed implants, the latter being over a year ago. There have been some side effects but I’m glad I didn’t opt for removal surgery. That said I wish this other treatment had been an option.
