Gary,

One of the items in your long list of medical advances raised a question with me. You listed brachytherapy (which I had 16 years ago at the end of my radiation treatments, so I'm gathering I may have been on the front end of that one). I've only seen it mentioned sporadically by current/recent patients on this site, and it seems as though it may not be used routinely. Is that because it's not widely available, or because it's felt to have limited applicability? (Or is it actually used more often than I think it is?)
