SBRT successful

[jrodrig]

I would like to share my experience with SBRT with the foro.

I've been keeping my PSA to a level very low for 2,5 years after prostectomy, ADT and docetaxel.

But on july of this year PSA began to rise. With a PET-TAC and new activity was discovered in a lumbar vertebra. Quickly I was sent to radio-oncology and I was treated on 3 sessions with SBRT (Sterostatic Body Radiation Therapy). I has to wait for 2 months and today I have gone to collect the results. Absolutely amazing. The activity has desapeared, the PSA has began to decline.

SBRT is a very good alternative when the lessions are <6, and it uses to work. Treatment with enzalutamide must wait.

So if you are in my situation, I recommend you that you ask for a SBRT to your oncologist.

Sounds good. I hope there is a survival benefit too.

My radio-oncologist and my oncologist think so.

Excellent news.

Radiation therapy has seen a lot of advances over the years, becoming more and more precise in its targeting and able to deliver more radiation to the target and less to the surrounding tissue, and to do it all with fewer and shorter sessions under the LINAC ("linear accelerator") machines.

Good luck on your future treatment.
