Thank you so much, Jeff. There is so much information on this site. Our radiation oncologist didn't use SBRT. I asked him why that was (after the fact) and he said that the lesions were spread out. That you needed your lesions to be close together, in order to do SBRT. Unfortunately, being in Canada, we don't have the same flexibility about going to a centre of excellence or even finding alternative doctors. There are positives, in that the treatments are free, but there are, definitely, serious negatives to universal medicine.

I will look up some of the things you shared.

Warm regards

Glenda

That doctor is Not being truthful. I know people that have had multiple lesions in many places and have had all of them zapped with SBRT. Almost every doctor that does SBRT in the United States would disagree about that. They don’t usually like to do more than five separate ones at a time.

IMRT can be used if the lesions are close together, though SBRT would probably also work.
