Decision time SBRT, IMRT or surgery

Good morning!

I had my first session of SBRT 1 of 5, yesterday. OF ALL OF THE THINGS I'VE DONE SO FAR this was by far the easiest. Had an empty rectum, drank 16 oz of water an hour before. Name called, changed my clothes, laid down on the table with the mold for my legs, they lined me up, asked me what kind of music I wanted to listen to (of course I told them classic 70's), laid still for 10 minutes, they said you're done, changed my clothes and left.

I guess what I'm saying is the finish line (at least for now) is in sight. I'll post if there are any side effects which I'm going to be optimistic that they will be non-existent or minimal at best. I just wanted to share that for me this was a non-event as far as a treatment.

Good luck to everyone and stay positive!

@sorensend58 Thanks. I feel sort of like you once I get the first one done 11-12 I will be on the downward slide other than the waiting and wondering if I really made the correct treatment decision.
