#Brachytherapy
Possibly the most significant run I've done in years.
Two months ago today I was 'enjoying' my LDR Brachytherapy procedure, this is my first run since.
Hopefully this is a turning point and my body will let me return to running.
If you are on this, or any other, cancer journey - I send you strength.
Men - get your PSA tested.

(In the current artistic climate the plastic ropes tied to the handrail are worth a fortune.)

#running
Sadly I have to put my running on hold for a while.
I've elected to have Brachytherapy(LDR) treatment for my prostate. I'm very lucky that it has been caught at an early stage and that my outlook is positive. Not sure how long before I get back to running. Running has been the thing that has kept my physical and mental health in good condition.
If anyone has experience of running after #Brachytherapy I'd like to hear.
Men - get your PSA test.

All of you - enjoy your running.

Choroidal melanoma

Choroidal melanoma can cause serous retinal detachment due to fluid leakage from the tumor or associated vascular abnormalities. Fundus examination typically reveals a dome-shaped or mushroom-shaped lesion with overlying retinal elevation. In selected cases, brachytherapy is used to preserve some vision and avoid more invasive, vision-threatening surgical procedures. #ChoroidalMelanoma #SerousRetinalDetachment #Brachytherapy #OcularOncology…

I wish I found this sooner: an outstanding presentation given in plain language.

Thankfully, I'm still aligned with my treatment plan.

As someone currently training under Dr. Hsu right now @[email protected], I'm learning with his approach we can implant very challenging cases elegantly with precision, in GYN and beyond. This is the way
