Wondering if you have had this type of radiation. (MRI GUIDED) SMART. My husband is being scheduled for it and is quite worried about being able to tolerate it and what after treatment is like.

I had this type of radiation for a tumor in what is left of my pancreas. I tolerated the procedure well. The radiation treatment occurred at KU.

I had 3 sessions within a 2 week period on a liver lesion “remnant” of 0.9cm. I tolerated the procedure well and had little nausea and weakness, but i was also undergoing chemo at the same time period. Next week I meet with the radiologist/oncologist to find out how much of that lesion was obliterated.
