Welcome to Mayo Connect, @amterrazas1.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a type of precisely focused radiation beams used to treat tumors. You mentioned having Essential thrombocythemia, which is a type of blood cancer/condition where your body is producing too many platelets. From my understanding, SBRT wouldn’t generally be used as a treatment for this condition because ET isn’t localized such as a tumor or lymph node.
Did you receive the SBRT for ET or do you have another condition that required the radiation?
Have you been prescribed any other treatment besides that such as hydroxyurea?
