@bens1 Was it Orlando Health MD Cancer or was it Advent Health Cancer? I’m in Orlando as well. If you would recommend using the same could you please share your Drs name with me? You can DM me direct (if that’s possible) if you don’t want to go public with it.

I had a consultation with a Moffit RO in May 2025 and he indicated that the facility will stop using the mridian viewray on may 30,2025. He said the elekta unity (mri-linac)has been ordered. I was offered HDR brachytherapy.
Additionally, I had a consultation with an RO at Orlando Cancer Center in early June 2025.
She indicated that the Mridian Viewray machine has been down since April 2025 and that the elekta unity has not been budget approved. I was offered sbrt with Ethos. Subsequently, I received a portal message from her NP indicating that the mridian mri-linac may be back online 8/1/25 but will be limited to liver and pancreas cancer.
also, note both of these facilities continue to advertise mri linac treatment.

I have no problem sharing at all as I think she saved my life. Her name is Dr. Kaitlin Christopherson. She is at Orlando Health/Orlando Cancer Center. She was trained at MD Anderson. She has one of those personalities that allowed me to drill down and ask a bunch of questions without annoying her. She answered my questions directly and if she did not know the answer for something that was out of her Area of expertise, she would say so. I was lucky to have found her and she was the fifth radiation oncologist that I spoke with.
