Sorry should have been more clear. I'm aware of the difference between IMRT & SBRT/Proton. The options presented to me were from 2 different top cancer centers. Again the trial from center #1 is 5 sessions of Proton with HDR Brachy. The other center #2 is the 23 sessions of IMRT and HDR Brachy

Well, that makes it quite clear.

It’s a real toss up.

To tell you the truth, I don’t think there’ll be a whole lot of difference in side effects. Sure would be nice to get it over with 5 sessions plus HDR, Having to go back every day can be a real pain.

Can you get any information about whether there have been any really serious side effects or problems from the five session option.
