Just got home a few hours ago from Seattle. I finished my five treatments of SBRT at Swedish Radiosurgery Center with Dr. Meier and team. Everything went smoothly with no side effects other than reduced flow and some pain when starting the flow. This has been 90% eliminated by taking Aleve for the pain and Flowmax. Now the waiting game begins. So...................I guess I am now a "full fledged" post toastie.
I will post full details of the treatments and side comments tomorrow or the next day. I am just happy to be back home.
There were others starting various forms of radiation the same day I started so I want to wish them well.
May all beings be well.
I want to say thanks to all of you that helped get me to this point. It seems like a long 4 months but it is over.

Welcome aboard 3/5's. I'm glad you got the "very happy" experience like most toasties. Recovery should be every bit as pleasing. Heal well.
