I wonder what something like that costs?  I see UPMC is getting one,  probably moth ball an older unit.  They had 3 units when I was treated there.

This is why I watch and wait.  Treatment options improve, and as I get older, radiation makes more sense for various reasons.  Maybe I'll be able to put off treatment until the next generation of machines comes out...

AN, my thoughts exactly!

And if you read about the machine elsewhere, this apparently is more accurate and allows lower doses.

No doubt, and they will be saying the same things about the next gen machines which will, no doubt, be true.
