Just a quick note on the Radiation side as there are two radiation machines that exist that have built-in MRIs as opposed to using the fused images to look at a target. The idea is that what they can see in real time they can treat and bodies and organs move so it’s worth looking into.Those two machines are the Mridian and the Elekta unity and they are worth asking your doctors about because the built in Mri reduces the amount of healthy tissue that gets exposed more so than non-Mri machines. That means less side effects. It’s worth asking your doctor or doctors questions about that.

@bens1 thanks, good question and I am not sure which machine will be used but will ask for sure. They already ordered and MRI and went for a simulation as well with a CT scan
