Hi,
Sorry but I just saw your question, yes I had CK treatment to my liver in 2008. I had three treatments over a week span. My liver is clear, I have PET scans every three months and each one showed the tumor was getting smaller,at 9 months it was totally gone.
I have been on Herceptin almost continuously, my EF dropped to 30 in August 2009 so my Onc took me off for four months. I developed a met to L2 spine which was also treated by CK. Again after 6 months it was gone or "resolved" as the PET report read. I now have weekly Herceptin and my EF has stayed in the 50s. I am NED thanks to Herceptin and CK!
Cyberknife was very easy treatment, some fatigue and stiffness with the spine but I feel absolutely great now, I highly recommend the CK.
