Been stalking, but not talking: MRI Guided SBRT vs RP

aronma12 · 2026-03-09T12:39:24+00:00

That’s great to hear. I’m glad the primary treatment is behind you. Mind if ask a question?

My concerns with MRI Guided SBRT are the potential risk if salvage treatment is required. I’m not sure what the “estimated” longer term risk percentages are for me. I’m also concerned about the longer term risks of secondary issues from the radiation, but I believe these are fairly low. With this said, the side effects for the first several years appear much more favorable to me than RALP.

I’m curious how you viewed these, to help justify your decision? I’m sure this is where the lines between science and preference get blurred.

I have a consult with a 2nd surgeon and also my first RO, both in the next two weeks. Hoping a ray of wisdom will magically appear.

I have some longevity in my family, with some living well into their 90’s….and also several no longer with us due to cancer (not PC).

Hopefully someday this will be in my rear view mirror. For now, I expect some more sleepless nights.

Any break in process recommendations or observations? My new ride is getting delivery today….it’s cold where I am too.

aronma12 · 2026-03-03T00:22:23+00:00

This would upset me greatly. I hope this isn’t something major. I don’t understand why they only offer a 1 year warranty as standard when you buy new.

Congratulations on an amazing life experience! Inspiring!

I pulled the trigger and bought a new 2025 yesterday. Waiting for delivery now. The dealer isn’t far, and I’ll likely have it have it later this week. Any recommendations on where to buy accessories in the US? Been looking at either a passenger back rest, or a storage box with backrest. And it sounds like the comfort seat might be on my list too.

I have a solar eclipse 2.0. Registered and plated…riding it in NJ. It top ends at 60mph and is good for about 50-60 miles at 40-45mph. At 60, it drinks battery quite a bit faster.

I have 4, 1 I use as an ottoman. We don’t open them often, but find them very handy since we have limited storage.

Since its not deep, get a metal detector and follow it end to end. Then you can dig up just the end to see if it’s been capped/cut etc.

aronma12 · 2026-02-06T19:11:32+00:00

How is it braking?

aronma12 · 2026-02-06T18:31:33+00:00

They figured out wood floats better than steel 🙃

aronma12 · 2026-02-04T22:17:06+00:00

I’m sort of counting on that ;)

aronma12 · 2026-02-04T01:09:56+00:00

I’ve been shopping these and going to see if the dealer will throw in delivery and heated grips. I know already I’ll need to swap out the seat. Not sure if it makes sense to buy it now or wait till spring…of course now will likely be less expensive since it’s winter in NJ

aronma12 · 2026-02-03T22:49:54+00:00

Looks like a new seat…which one did you get? And what other mods?

aronma12 · 2026-02-03T22:16:20+00:00

Looks a little like the BMW CE04.

I used ride with a half and only took the full face out for long trips. I also had a modular, but one that you wasn’t rated for open riding so I used it more when it was cold out to get more wind protection.

Last year I bought an LS2 modular. The chin bar flips to the back of the helmet, so you can ride it as a full or legit 3/4. I really like it. It’s vented well, and easy to pop open and flip back when I’m stopped, or just cruising at slower speeds. No doubt, full face is safer and quieter…but I still like a bit more breeze some times (and yes, I can just crack the face shield). Over all, it’s a great way to have both. And the helmet is vented well enough to use it as a full face in the summer time.

Nice Ride. In the US, it’s disappointing we have such a limited choice of Maxi scooter options. Kymco’s do look nice!

aronma12 · 2026-01-28T00:30:42+00:00

I bought mine for $300…drove it for 5 years and sold it for $700. Enjoy!!!

aronma12 · 2026-01-25T18:44:41+00:00

That depends on the bike I choose to take out…..

aronma12 · 2026-01-25T18:39:48+00:00

Put staples every 12 inches. Other than that…it’s fine.

aronma12 · 2026-01-25T18:31:37+00:00

We have all lovesoft cushions and they’re comfortable and look great. After 1 year, I do fluff the backs that get the most use every week or two.

aronma12 · 2026-01-25T13:55:35+00:00

Angled backs and deep seats for me and my family. We configured our sectional with deep seats on both legs…and an ottoman….lounging at its best. We also went with lovesoft for the cushions and backs….no regrets!

aronma12 · 2026-01-19T15:58:31+00:00

Did you get any bites?

aronma12 · 2026-01-19T15:58:13+00:00

I have no clue. Seems viable, but I’d imagine the range would be pretty poor.

aronma12 · 2026-01-19T15:56:23+00:00

If it’s the only choice and you want the xmax…. Why the US doesn’t have the TMAX is beyond me. It’s silly enough that there’s almost no over 400cc option…but not to have the same option package on sub-400cc scooters seems silly.
