“I was concerned about the side effects associated with radiation therapy, including incontinence and impotence. When I researched my options for treatment, I learned about the Calypso System. GPS for the Body® just made sense to me. Knowing that the radiation beam was directed at my tumor and not at my bladder and colon gave me peace of mind.'
