Prostate Cancer

If you have an implant does radiation or cyber Knife treatment effect your implant. If anyone can answer would appreciate,
Implanted March 2nd by Dr. Kramer with AMS/LGX. Had a problem lower left (scar tissue) and he placed a larger (thicker) implant as you can here on the YouTube video. Got all back, ED over 10 years before Implant.

I'm in the same boat and my radiologist didn't mention anything other than it could cause ED.
She said good when I told her I was implanted.

I had 33 sessions of radiation a bit more than a year after my implant was done and it didn’t have any negative side effects on it, I am now on my third year with the implant and it still going strong.

Good luck with you treatment!!
