Getting GentleCure (IM-SRT) for my 2 Basal Cell Carcinomas

@2buddy I would try to find another facility that does SRT. My impression from the various radiation therapists I had treating me is that the ultra sound exam before each session was, if I may use an expression not heard since my childhood, gilding the lily.
That is, they didn't seem to think it was really necessary before each session. One of them even said, we do it for insurance purposes.

@cleveland26 The ultrasound is very necessary before each SRT treatment, it guides them and shows the tech where the cancer is still active. This guides their treatment plan and is critical to full care and eradication of all the cancer. You can actually see the cancer go down each session. It’s a critical part of this procedure, hence the ultrasound guided radiation therapy name of the procedure.
