I did 28 sessions of IMRT external beam radiation which is a common treatment for prostate cancer, ending in April 2025. I also had a Barrigel spacer to minimize the side effects of the radiation to the colon and rectum.

Can you give me the IMRT written out. I know the RT is radiation therapy.

I thought that meant internal. I had external beam proton radiation treatment (30 rounds with Space/Oar, markers).

I am probably wrong and why I thought you had internal with the "I." Won't be first time but don't have Colleen's abbreviation list available and you explaining what the IMRT would be helpful so don't make same mistake again.
