Those recommendations sound pretty good to me. They give a lot of options to find metastasis, which they can zap.

5 day salvage radiation, sounds like a gift. Definitely something new. Ask more about comparison with IMRT or equivalent with 30 treatments. Safety, coverage.

I’ve never heard of salvage radiation done in 5 days - thats the equivalent of FIVE standard IMRTs in every visit. How is this possible ?
My 25 treatments - down from 39 - is the newest protocol offered at Sloan Kettering. Six month SE’s show no significant difference between those getting 39 or 25 treatments but I think a 5 treatment protocol sure would…
