This was the best presentation I've seen on radiation therapy - focusing mainly on the use of CyberKnife but also discussing broader issues of radiotherapy. I learned a lot from it about dosages, targeting, side effects, options in the case of treatment failure, and other topics. Darryl did a really good job of asking the questions that men need to ask, and I love the way he added an index that allows us to go to specific topics in the video.

Dr. Blackburg was very impressive. If you're considering radiation treatment and want to know what kind of doctor he is, this video is a good way to learn more about him. Also, since we don't normally get a chance to interview and compare lots of doctors, watching and listening to him will give you a standard of comparison for the doctors available to you.
