Treatment options

Hi Drewpup

SR 5 sessions is relatively new but have read good things about it, there are people on here who have had it, hopefully they will appear.

Brachy also read good things about, in my mind SR seems dead easy as only 5 sessions but just my opinion.

I had 20 sessions of Radiotherapy and was very happy with that many years ago.

See what others say 

Best wishes

My mum had stereotactic radiotherapy at Tonbridge Wells (Kent)  4-5 years ago and was treated to a fabulously accurate treatment for her lung tumour.

It’s got to be the way forward due to less “body” being affected by the rays, as it’s more focused on what it’s aimed at.

It’s the same principle as radiotherapy, a tatoo, a few days of treatment and a wait for scans for results. Simples.

Good luck with what you choose

Hi Drewpup no experience of surgery, but if I were given the same 4 options I would go for SABR or Brachytherapy.  I had SABR 3x13gy Feb 25 and think it has worked.  Our expert on Brachytherapy is Alpine Wanderer so have a look at his profile.

Hi, I had LDR Brachytherapy and nothing else a year ago..  You may wish to look at my profile. 

Thanks Mr U, that is good to know.

Thanks David, it is good to know that it's not jus me thinking that look like the best options. I have had a look at Alpine's post. Very helpful.

Thanks for that, good to see your experience as you had a very similar diagnosis to mine. I have a consultation with the Bracky people just after Easter, so will be able to base my questions to them on your story.
