This is a trial that has been going on for several years. You can look it up http://www.uclahealth.org. Sounds promising to me especially with no extra side effects.

Thanks for the website! It seems that it is SBRT post -prostatectomy. They talk about delivering high dose radiation to ‘tumors’.
All well and good if you have one on a scan. This is what Dr Scholtz is talking about in the YouTube video. But again I come back to the question: what if there is no discrete tumor? Just rising PSA? Where do you aim these very high dose beams and not cause severe damage? Your scans did not show any activity (other than the ribs).
They can’t be using a gel spacer - no place to put it….
Well, we’ll have to see what the study shows, I guess. Are you enrolled in this one?
Phil
