Re: More EBRT/IMRT potential damage to bladder

Aloha John,
I don't remember just how much it was, but during the last half of the dose (last 4 weeks), they would ultrasound locate the bladder & prostate just before the shoot, and adjust the body (beam location) to compensate. So, some times I was able to hold it before the shoot, other times I had to let some out before. So I'm not sure it mattered.
This was suppose to be a top of the line job, latest program, modulated beam, I could see the three lead shutters adjusting for each of five shots.
They still got my rectum/anus and apparently the bladder & valve.
Peace on Earth,
Joe

Bladder biopsy

The biopsy samples were free of any cancer.

Re: Bladder biopsy

I see Santa came a little early to the islands this year. Glad the biopsy results were negative.
