Okay. That's actually what I was going to ask. I was going to ask if the 40 gray is distributed completely uniformly across the breast. The answer is no. It is, but then you have that boost.

If we go back in time to 25 years ago, 30 years ago versus today, what are the typical side effects that a woman experiences from this treatment? And by the way, was she typically getting 40 gray 25 years ago or was that a little more? I think you said, and now they've come down a bit. It was sort of 50, 60 gray.

Did anybody ever look at when you had the very disparate hot and cold spots and follow women for recurrence? Yes. Was there any association between the cold spots and recurrences?

What is the impact of breast implants in this type of treatment, either saline implants or the older... Actually, they're not older now. They're back in vogue, right?

It's essentially tissue equivalent. Pardon my ignorance. I completely forget. Are those implants typically under the pec or between the pec and the breast? So we see both. What's the current standard?

Do women experience any systemic symptoms from radiation like nausea or vomiting, or is that pretty much?

Okay. Let's talk about prostate, which is obviously also the bread and butter of the field. So first off, which patients are typically being radiated?

You've gotten to know Ted Schaefer, who's not only good on the podcast, but is equally, let's just say, interested in cars. He sure is. So you, me, and Ted have a lovely little text thread about cars.

Let's talk about a patient that comes in to see Ted for a biopsy. They've got a Gleason 3 plus 4, and then another patient who's a Gleason 4 plus 4 or 4 plus 5 or something like that. How does that patient navigate their way through the system as to whether or not they need radiation or should they undergo surgery? And does androgen deprivation therapy necessarily come with radiation?

Or is there a scenario where you undergo radiation But you don't require androgen deprivation.
