@brianjarvis , thanks for that information. I didn't ask about that until I was pretty much done with my sessions. Keep blasting it day after day then give it a booster shot at the end!😁

@bonanzaman Actually, in his case (per the protocol) at each session they did 2.0 Grays to the entire prostate but, 2.5 Grays to the visible tumors.
There are other combinations they can do with radiation these days, even “cooling” the radiation as they approach an area they want to avoid as well as shutting off the radiation entirely if the prostate moves.
Many things they can do beyond simply zapping each day.
