Did you get surgery? And how long ago was your brother treated.

No surgery.I finished my 5 hypo fractional treatments with the Mridian radiation machine in February of 2023 with no ADT. It was Dr. Nager who I had my first consultation with via telehealth.

My brother was treated with the same Mridian Linac machine a couple of months earlier than me but his situation was far more complicated. He previously had colon cancer years ago, then prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer and other complications since then that required pancreas and spleen operations.

The built in MRI and other features make a huge difference. As Dr Nager said to me, what you can see you can treat and in the case of the Mridian and Elekta machines, its real time.
