My oncologist call me this afternoon about me having refused the radiologist treatment, radiologist in Catharina hospital in eindhoven only wanted to radiate my prostate and nothing else ,I want more ,so no agreement on treatment, in the talk with my oncologist I explained to her that I wanted a second opinion but I was questioning the fact if it was in another Dutch hospital the outcome wood be the same ,because of what I think are the protocols in the country , for example, they radiate till 4 lymph nodes in the pelvis, not one more ,and if you have another spot in the body, lymph node or bones, they simply don't radiate them with curative intent anymore,I ask her for a personal or professional opinion, because I want a chance of cure or at least destroy the most cancer cells as possible to give better chances in the future, I tolder that I know that no one can say it can cure me but I want the treatment that provides me better chances ,so she advise Leuven university hospital because, according to her ,there is a radiologist/professor there that is more outside the box compared to the Dutch rigid protocols, I'm just said her to wait a few days so I have time to investigate the hospital, for what I saw till now they made a study supporting the idea of lymph nodes radiation in the pelvis. I forgot Leuven is in Belgium.
Murcao Yay!!!!!!!!! What a result! Well done. Belgiums not that far either. Take the Mrs

Exactly . Nothing is lost here . Sounds like the radiologist is what you want . May as well get him to have a look at your lower ribs as well while he’s at it. 
Find out what he’ll be using as well. Do love that MRIdian linac . 
Hi !
Sounds good and hopefully you can get a second opinion and also a treatment with curative intent in Belgium then and, fingers crossed. Now you’re on a very good systemic treatment anyway that will keep the cancer under control
Look for the possibility of EBRT, if possible with a boost (SIB or Brachy) and of course the most important part; Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy (WPRT)
Best wishes - Ulf
Please post the follow up to your second opinion after you have it, it will be so interesting to hear what this radiologist thinks.
