jb2buckwater: Thanks for adding some helpful detail. That all makes sense to me. My brother is about to do spaceoar and then do MRI guided radio therapy with the Meridian machine. Medicare issues notwithstanding, it almost makes more sense than Proton Therapy. Given the timing of when you got your results back, I guess in about a week I will know more myself. I will probably ask the doctor for some genetic tests to back up his pathology report, and maybe to help my kids at the same time with their future. As to the future treatments, you’re right we are lucky someday they will just have a Star Trek co2 injection that targets and solves the problem much faster, Thanks again. I guess we will all continue to look for new answers all the time.
