dandl48 Dave, one of the centers here in Florida suggested SBRT over 5-days, with three other days for preparation. What were your Gleason scores and did you also have a Decipher score?
We've had a concern about such high doses of radiation over such a short course of time so this is of interest.
I have not heard of SBRT Proton, I just noted that in your comment. I've been told that SBRT is Photon, perhaps I am, missing something...?

@michael219 Michael My Gleason score was 4+3, like Jim with a PSA of 11+(I was off finasteride for a month or so). Don't know the Decipher score. I believe that both Photon and Proton can be used in SBRT. My current PSA's since the SBRT via Proton has been <.01 with my next blood draw in April.
