@gamaryanne that was good advice regarding SBRT. My drs had me on chemo during my SBRT treatment. I really am extremely intrigued about this concept of "spreading" or activating cancer cells as a side effect of doing another procedure. What is the scientific evidence or methodology behind this? I'm more interested just to be aware.

Re: peritoneum treatment
Someone recently sent to me a discussion of HIPEC treatment by a Dr Bartlett .
I’m sure UCLA or one of the fine facilities near you might offer?

Vis a vis SBRT-
This is based on results TGen labs and Dr.Boranzanci’s experience treating this cancer for many years. I have always been told SBRT is a spot treatment but not a cure. Another”buys time” tool in the bag. I had it on a small module in my lung in March. Later scans said the module was obliterated. It was suspected cancer but not confirmed. Meeting radiologist today on my liver lesion but rethinking histotripsy. However, the area has scar tissue from resection so may not be possible(?)
