I was treated with the Mridian radiation machine, which is photon with MRI integration in real time. What they see, they can treat. There is a HUGE difference from one radiation machine to another. The study presented on this website does not talk about that at all. If you Google the Mirage study, you will see that there are significant differences in side effects and quality of life between a machine that has a built-in Mri and those that don’t. The two machines on the market that do have a built-in MRI, versus fused images and everything else, are the Mridian and the Elekta Unity.

So far, my side effects, which was after the third, of my five Mridian treatments, were restricted urine flow, which was taken care of overnight with Flomax. I asked my doctor for a prescription ahead of time. I had a PSA of 10.2 and 3+4 Gleason’s. I had five opinions from Radiation oncologists after ruling out, proton and removal. The key for me, was the built in MRI. I was 69 at the time.

Private message me if you want to drill down on my experience.
