SBRT Side Effects: Are they short-lived or long lasting?

Interesting comment you make on frequency of individual SBRT treatments. Originally I was told 5 treatments every other day. Then, I was told 5 treatments on five consecutive days, which is what I had. I’ve wondered why the change and if the consecutive 5-day treatment plan causes a higher incidence of side effects. I did take the DNA test and came back low risk. Maybe that is why they went 5 consecutive days?

@glabelle Hi. You say "I did take the DNA test and came back low risk." DNA "test"? Surely UCLA gave you both tests --PROSTOX Ultra for SBRT and Standard for CFRT/MHFRT (same radiation total dose but spread over 7-9 weeks or 4-5).
