UCLA Viewray Sbrt summary

I just finished 5 sessions of Sbrt at UCLA with Dr. Kishan as part of the FORT trial. I’m 4 days out and feeling the usual SE’s: urgency, retention. Taking one .4 mg of flomax. The last two days I’ve had some GI “bother”.

4 of the 5 sessions were 25-30 minutes long, no problem. The 4th session I miss judged my water intake and my bladder was only half full. Had to drink water in the tube and that one lasted an hour.

If anyone is considering options I’d highly recommend researching this treatment. You can do a video consult with Dr. Kishan.

Take care.

Any idea how Viewray's bankruptcy has/will affect their operations?

Well, now I do. They are shutting down all Viewray operations at UCLA. Terrible news. Grateful I got my Tx with the Viewray.
