@soupycampbell- Good morning and yes I do remember your name. And I love the hat and look!

Oh dear, Soupy. You are very brave in a terrible situation. I don't blame you for choosing, perhaps a shorter life but pain free. That would be my pick too.

Radiation therapy is often used to help relieve pain. And there are several types of radiation. I honestly do not know the types of cancer that you have enough to advise you. Your oncologist would be the one. My doctor was a radiologist oncologist and has treated all of my multi-focal adenocarcinoma lesions.

I had SBRT with photon beams. Does this help, at all?

Merry

I know you have a lot of different treatments in the US. Canada doesn’t seem to have all you do. The tumour is supposed to be Adenocarcinoma. Now about 4.7 cm. He just said I could have 5 weeks of a lower dose but recommended 10 weeks of a higher dose.
Wondering about reactions being as he said or worse or better?? Going crazy here
