Hi ,

can anybody help ?

i'm gleason 7 , 3+4 and my cancer is confined to my prostrate ,

PSA is around 5 , and my prostate is now down from 51mls to 34mls.

on my last MRI scan , the cancer lesions were "not visible" anymore ,

does anybody else have cancer that is not visible ?

i am not keen on surgery , and i have been told i can have standard RT ( IMRT) without HT ,

do anybody have any experience or knowledge of CYBER KNIFE ?

as my cancer lesions can not be seen ...does this rule out cyber knife and short high dose RT procedures ?

thanks

Hi Bry, why has your prostate got smaller? Are you on HT? Have they mixed up your records with someone else?

Hi Bry,

If you put cyberknife into our search box, it'll bring up a few conversations which may help. I've read through them and it appears you'll have to get a clinician to access your suitability. If you dont mind disclosing, do you intend to try and get the procedure on the NHS or privately?

does cyber knife focus on the cancer lesions like nano knife ?...

then it isn't likely to be an option for me ..,hence the post hoping forum members know
