No.
Pathology found cancerous prostate cells at/near the outer margins of the removed gland. However, PSA lab value is zero indicating at this point no prostate cells spread beyond the gland as they should be secreting prostate specific antigen. All good news!
Knowing the pathology findings, radioactive seed implantation would have been an unfortunate choice when compared to prostatectomy.
