Wow, Moffitt has the latest and greatest. I'm sure you'll get great treatment.

My tumor was 2 cm in the upper right side. I went in for SBRT each afternoon three days in a row. Just for an hour or so each time. It is easier than a root canal that's for sure. You just lay on the table, they move the machine around you while they play your favorite music.

That's a question better address with your Doctor
Why? Because there are several important factors in involved. 1) Type cancer, 2) Type of My treatment, 3)method of delivering the medication/chemo, 4) Age of the patient, 5) Underlying comorbidities, 6) Stage of cancer and location.

The side effects are fairly generic. Nausea, vomiting, Diarrhea/Constipation, Neuropathy in the fingers/hands/feet. Loss of body hair. Muscle aches and pains. Mouth sores.

Many of these are side effects of the medication.edicationsxlike steroids can cause irritability, fatigue, depression, anxiety.

I might suggest getting a list of the meds that make up your chemo treatment, and list of the current meds you are taking and research (Google):the name and side effects of each medication. This will give you a better perspective of the side effects to expect.

Note, never stop any mediation th doctor has prescribed without first consulting with him/her.

I had four SBRT treatments. Holding my breath for a long time was the hardest part for me. No radiation burns at all. SBRT was not nearly as bad as my 32 radiation treatments for head and neck cancer. Significant radiation burns with the head and neck cancer proton treatment.

Every other day over 2 weeks. Ct scans every 3 months after to check progress.
