Well, that was quick. I chased the medical oncologist (Greek God) up this morning and he has had a pow wow with the radio oncologist, so I was told to speak to him as they both thought hubby was eligible for SBRT on the distant mets. Did this at lunchtime and was asked when we would like it done. Whenever we replied. Got a text at 17:30 to ask if we are available TOMORROW at 15:50 for the planning scan and can we take the PSMA PET scan disc. So all set for treatment starting next week. Having to sort out an apartment near the hospital for a couple of weeks as he predicts it will be 5 sessions on alternate week days.

I thought I would update this thread as it is now 6 weeks since hubby completed his SBRT to the upper abdominal lymph nodes, visceral met and adrenal gland mets. We were told that side effects could take this long to disappear and I am pleased to report that all have gone now and hubby is feeling better than ever. He is now able to have his normal diet as the bloating sensation has gone, tummy has reduced, and he has more energy. Blood tests this week are all normal and whilst the PSA has not gone down it has stabilised. I will update in 3 weeks after the next MRI and meeting with the GG. More importantly his mental health has improved.

To show how far he has progressed we went out for a curry this evening PLUS he has come home and having a little whiskey - the bottle is going down Millibob Brian.
