Dr. Bert Vorstman skeptical of any Pc treatment. What do you think?

@quaddick I think you are the first patient that I have heard from that tested high risk for all forms of radiation, even low dose IMRT. AI said, "Approximately 1%–2% of patients test as "High Risk" for all standard forms of radiation therapy, including lower-dose options." You are in that unlucky 1-2%, but it sure was a good thing that you checked on this.

Yeah, I was prepared to switch to CMRT if SBRT proved unsuitable. I was surprised to have both tests come back high risk. I definitely preferred RT over surgery. I toyed with the idea of disregarding the results and doing RT regardless. It's a new test that's not yet standard of care. But if I did have serious problems as predicted by the test, I'm sure that I would regret ignoring it.
