UCSF Mission Bay, Radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Receiving laser radiation in the prostate bed and lymph nodes. Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. I lay down on a contoured mold that was made of my body, then they position me so that two tattoos on my hips and one on my abdomen line up with three laser crosses. I am then scanned to see if my bladder is full and intestine is out of the way. A high pitch noise can be heard during the treatment which is painless.
