For Stage 1A adenocarcinoma, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a treatment option when surgery is not feasible. Here's what happens during SBRT treatment:

- Preparation: Doctors use CT scans to calculate and target the tumor with focused radiation.
- Treatment Sessions: SBRT involves several beams of extremely focused, high-dose radiation targeting the tumor from different sides.
- Duration: Typically, SBRT takes only one to five individual treatments.
- Precision: This method minimizes damage to nearby healthy tissue.

Given your age, it's crucial to discuss with your doctor to ensure this treatment is suitable for you.

You'll be happy with your choice. SBRT is a piece of cake. I had no side effects, no sensation of anything. You just lie on the table for 15 minutes, get up and go home. Once for a target scan(CT). Once for a simulation. Then about 5 zaps, one every other day. And it WORKS!
