I am 67 yeards old. I had Brachytherapy (seed implants) in 1998 after 5 weeks of radiation. My PSA declined after the procedure to 0.01 during 10 years. My annual PSA screening came back with a 10.1. I am scheduled for an MRI and bone scan next week. What kind of treatments will I be facing? By the way, my doctor did noy find anything anusual when he performed a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam)

Please share your experiences or comments.

Thanks, Bert
