    I respectfully disagree with some things: handed me off to his helpers, told me at the first meeting about sexual function impairment, etc., didn’t lift a finger to help with my insurance and didn’t care to hear how I prevailed, etc.
    however, cancer free after 7 years. Yea for that! And recommended it to my 89 y.o. Uncle who subsequently had CyberKnife.

    @8:19 " Most guys fall asleep" WRONG I'm currently going through radio tactic radiation. Same as cyber knife. You have to have the procedure with a full bladder. The feeling must be that you have to pee before you enter the radiation room. If you don't feel like you have to pee, the technicians will stop you before you hit the table and make you drink more water and resume in another 40 minutes. Most of us on the CyberKnife table are waiting anxiously to finish the session and then run to the bathroom and urinate because that's what state the doctor wants you in during your CyberKnife procedure. If you don't drink enough water, they stop the procedure and make you drink more water and put you back on the table.

      Did 12-16 oz and never had to top up. A normal bladder size is 16oz but many hospitals tell people drink 20-30oz DUH and it takes 45 minutes to reach it.

      @@mikecooney2990 No. I personality was stopped because of the lack of water before my session. There were other patients in the waiting room that were denied as well. If you don't believe me, talk to the cyber knife technicians who are on the front line. No full bladder feeling = go back and drink more water in the lobby.

      @@watersbey25 Just going with my own CK experience in 2017. I told this to others guys that did CK or IMRT and they too never had no problems. Now if you drink 10 minutes before Zap, ya the water won’t be your bladder, it take around 45 minutes. it’s all about the timing.

      @@mikecooney2990 I think you should consult the medical community for facts. I went through the whole radiation program, talked to doctors, patients alongside of me, and technicians as well. You did the program in 2017? . Be careful giving false data which can lead radiation cancer patients down the wrong path of treatment.
