Hey heavyphil,
Thanks for the added facts and info! My RO is recommending IMRT over SBRT due to the treatments being lesser of a radiation dose, spread out over more sessions than SBRT. On 12/ 18/ 24 I had TURP procedure done to reduce the preasure my oversized prostate was putting on my urethra causing alot of Urinary problems! They took out 17 grms of prostate and now still healing but urinating much better! Due to this my RO wants to use IMRT with a lesser dose as not to possibly bother / injure that area which I had the surgery.
Thanks again for the insight!
Stay well!
