5 sessions of SBRT on my spine post surgery (total radiation 20 gy). 20 sessions of SBRT on my prostate (total radiation 60 gy).

Your numbers are the exact opposite of normal. They would give you five sessions to your prostate and then 20 sessions to other parts of your body. It doesn’t take 20 sessions of SBRT to totally radiate a prostate. It only takes five.
That’s what puzzles me my brother had five sessions SBRT to his prostate and it’s effectively gone. I know many other people that have had those five sessions. I can’t imagine how 20 sessions could be on a prostate.
