I'd be interested in hearing more about your MRI guided radiation. My husband was hoping to receive SBRT radiation but due to the size and location with vein involvement it wasn't recommended. We too had a John Hopkins 2nd opinion but no mention of the MRI guided radiation. We are currently scheduled for a Moffit consultation too. Currently chemoradiation is scheduled in the next two weeks. Prayers for good results with your scans!

Thank you for sharing your story. How is the high dose MRI guided radiation going? This could be one of my options as I have involvement of the superior mesenteric vein and am currently inoperable. I am interested in your experiences if you are willing to share. Hope your scans go well. The anxiety about results seems difficult to manage at times. My heart rate went up when I logged on to Quest to see how the results of my CA 19-9 were, fortunately better.
