Proton VS. IMRT
I was meeting with an RO who practices
IMRT
and was referred to a colleague who practices at the Proton center. (so close to my home that I could walk there. ) I had over ruled Proton because my urologist told me that it not used for High Risk PCa.

Pylarify and ADT question
The RO at MSKCC wants to go with 4 months of ADT and 26 sessions of
IMRT
. He wants us to explore proton therapy as well since my dad had ulcerative colitis in 1990 which is completely under remission. Can someone throw light on SBRT vs
IMRT
vs Proton Therapy and Lupron Vs Firmagon vs Orgovyx.

For those of you who had radiation, how did you manage nausea if you had it?
My brother is in his 4th week of radiation and since day 2 has been extremely nauseous all of the time, he had the beads implanted in his prostate and is doing
IMRT
for 9 weeks, he is on promethazine but it doesnt really seem to be working well.

Proton Beam vs IMRT
Hirsch can do the
IMRT
in 25 sessions at the same place . Or , at an affiliate , partner in group , with Proton Beam about 30 minutes away . Are there advantages to Proton Beam compared to
IMRT
?

Newly diagnosed Teal stage prostate cancer, trying to prepare for possible HDR brachytherapy treatment.
I did a lot of research & decided to choose radiation treatment, was referred to our local cancer center for IG-
IMRT
, but my treatment got delayed trying to authorize SpaceOar hydrogel procedure first, my insurance denied covering the hydrogel.

If I could only put my back into it.
Two weeks about completing
IMRT
with boosts and four months into a six month Lupron injection, my CBC and Metabolic Panel were all normal and my T level is <3. Bladder frequency is calming down to once a night.

Now comes the test
Just finished 39
IMRT
treatments to whole pelvis last week. Fourteen of those treatments were boosts to three Pylarify identified avid lymph nodes. I'm three months into the first of six month Lupron injections. I have a routine check up with my family doctor next week.

Update: Post SBRT/IMRT Treatment for Favorable Int. PCa
I did have a hard time with the combo
IMRT
and ADT. Lost a lot of weight due to constipation and diarrhea and was often very tired. Lucky for me it was baseball season and I pretty much watched every game I could stream. At this point, all symptoms have disappeared.

Stage 4 , Veterans Administration
I was going to use U of Chicago hub about 1 mile from my home compared to 50 miles to Illinois cyberknife for 25 days of
IMRT
. It seems the RO at U of C hub , is not too fond of accepting me as a patient for
IMRT
because of legal or medical reasons of having had SBRT elsewhere .
