Very stressful dealing with delays. Hope you get treatment as soon as possible.

I would suggest you talk to your consultant about starting hormone therapy now. It will be needed before LDR/seed brachytherapy or external beam radiotherapy anyway, and it will stop the cancer in its tracks for now.

If you haven't already found my profile you may find it helpful. I had HT before LDR Brachy but to reduce the size of my Prostate before the procedure. Good luck

Consultant felt that there was no need at this stage to start HT, however in 3 months time and Brachytherapy is still not available I will be starting HT as part of external RT, not the way I want to go but in the current climate I may have no other choice, at least 8 have the option.
