steveron, I am eagerly awaiting updates from you after your visit with Dr. Lee. My case is similar and after reading your post and the patient's story from baptisthealth, I contacted Dr. Chuong. He was quick to respond and I am now waiting for new scan I have scheduled next week before following up with him.
I do hope your wife is getting some hopeful news; I belong to a couple of local PC support groups here that have been very helpful in giving me hope that this hideous disease is become much more manageable if not curable!

If I may ask, how is this different from SBRT?
SBRT has been recommended S a next step for me so I have spent time with interventional radiologist to understand the process. I chose to enter a clinical trial first, but do feel this is a good back up plan.
