A quick question.
My father had the seeds implanted a few days ago and since then he has extreme fatigue to the point that he can barley get out of bed. I guess I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of problem?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scot,

I had seed implants in Jan 2008 but do not remember being overly fatigued. I read of one member here or on another forum playing golf the next day? Not sure I remember correctly. The only problem I had was difficulty urinating (took the catheter out in less than 24 hours). You might want to check with his doctor(s) to see if something else is going on.

Sorry I'm not much help. But thought I would post since no one else has responsded to your question.

I had seed implants last May and had no fatigue whatsoever. In fact I had more energy that had in the past few years. I also went through 35 IMRT treatments with no energy loss. I believe my diet of no meat or dairy was a prime contributor to my increased energy level. I did play golf the day after implants and continued to play twice weekly during external radiation.
