after meeting with the RO's at UC Davis they went over Brachy and Sbrt boost and convinced me to go this way because of my history of urinary issues and the fact that my tumor is in the anterior transition zone. they surmised that the tomo is a gentler way of achieving the same results as BBT or Sbrt. got my tattoos yesterday and a simulation run. down side is 44 fractions. the team seemed very knowledgeable. after all the research I did, tomo was not on my Radar so I'm still not sure the difference from IMRT/IGRT?? any comments or experiences are appreciated. I am due to start on 10/22, (about 2 months after start of HT). Ed
