AVA11, first let me say that I'm sorry you're going through this pain and I wish you a speedy recovery.
I'm curious about your procedure. You had treatment with MRIdian at UCLA recently? I'm hoping to have the Tulsa Pro treatment at UCLA. If it turns out that I'm not a candidate, my 2nd preference would be MRIdian, but I read that UCLA's MRIdian was not working. Based on your post it appears it's back up and running. Can you confirm? Hang in there man, I'm rooting for you and very interested in following your progress. Best of luck.

paulcalif,
I am on Mridian ViewRay machine. today is my 4th treatment. Varian is a big company and if it breaks, I am sure they will fix it quickly. They put me on steroids. Last night I slept well like I used to before the treatment!
Wish you the best.

paulcalif,
I was on Viewray machine today for my 4th RT. Iasked the thearapist about MRIdian machine not working in the past. He said when Varian declared bancrumptsy, they didn't have a service contract with them. They didn't want to run the machine without the service contract. So, they shut it down. When new investors came in they got the service contract, he said that was last October.
In any case my friend who was the vice chair of RO at UCLA told me, it is not just the machine. It is more important to pick the right RO that has the skills, when I told him COH has the same machine!
