Did you have MRI guided SBRT to two separate areas in one cycle of treatment?I have been reading more about this and I am scheduled for a planning scan of my liver this Thursday.
I did SBRT in Mar h on a small module in my lung and last scan showed it gone.

However, this spot in my liver requires MRI and is in a more “delicate” spot. A bit nervous I understand our organs do move when we breathe!

Hi @gamaryanne! I had MRI guided SBRT for my liver, and separate CT scan guided SBRT for my subcutaneous belly tumor since it was so close to the surface they didn't need the MRI. To control movement, they put a tight belt around me so that I could not take deep breaths. They prepped each session with the belt for over an hour to plan their target precisely, then deliver the radiation in about 10 minutes.
