[quote=ChristineB]@Tammy- I believe EzJim did brachytherapy but he never called it that. He always said seed implants. Brachytherapy is not the usual standard of care in treating OC the first time. Its normally only seen with patients who have had recurrences. [/quote]

Yes Christine they do call it seed Implants. Does ezjim think it was a good option? I am worried if we make the wrong choice.
