You probably wouldn't be offered SABR or Cyberknife if more than 3 locations.

Thanks Lyn.  I should clarify that if I'd chosen prostate only EBRT I would have had 20 fractions.  It's only 37 because there's a question mark over spread to lymph nodes and so I've chosen to have the wider area covered.  Though the thought of the shorter course was tempting it was the knowledge that should it crop up in my lymph nodes later, further EBRT would not be an option that led me to go for the 37.

Keep it up, Pete - I hope it is successful for you.

Interesting. The oncologist did say that I "qualified" for the treatment but I didn't ask her what the actual criteria were.
