New radiation treatment

My husband has an appointment in the morning with a radiation oncologist.  When the surgeon's office called they said they wanted to see if he was a candidate for a new therapy that was just five sessions.  After doing some research the only thing that I can find is some information on SBRT (Stereotactic body radiaton therapy).  They do it in five 30 minute sessions.  Is anyone familiar with this? 

Also, we have no idea what to expect at this appointment.  We don't know if we will just talk to the doctor or if they will schedule more scans, etc.  We are travling 150 miles for this appointment and have no idea if we need to plan to be there one day or several days.

Thanks for the link to the article. I did not see it when I was searching. I don't know for sure what they are considering, but I will post the information after our appointment tomorrow. It would be great if he could get it all done in five days.

This sounds like the Cyberknife. I looked at this and made an inquiry through a hospital in Vancouver, WA (SW WA Medical). I have lymph node involvement and they would not consider me as a candidate. The therapy was 5 session for 60 minutes per day.

Try Cyberknifesupport.org There is a forum where you can ask the doctors if you are a candidate for this device.
