New on here! My urologist wants to treat my prostate cancer with radiation seeds and we haven’t even spoken to an Oncologist yet. Does this sound right?

Welcome to the community! It's completely normal to have questions about treatment planning when dealing with a new prostate cancer diagnosis. Many patients find it helpful to get input from multiple specialists, including oncologists who specialize in cancer treatment, to fully understand all available options before making treatment decisions. Consider asking your urologist about consulting with a radiation oncologist or medical oncologist to discuss your specific case and ensure you're exploring all the right paths for your situation. What questions are you hoping an oncologist might help answer about your treatment plan?
