Diana,

I had Gamma-knife radiosurgery. I believe they are very similar. You most likely going to have your head steadied and going through the procedure just like you are getting a MRI. There are websites about cyberknife. A good one is from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberknife

MD Anderson is the place to go for second opinion. Do you live in the Southwest? or Texas? There are several Texans on the board, but I don't remember anyone in the Houston area.

If you type in "cyber knife" in the Search button on the goldbar on top of the board, you will find some threads on the subject. One of them can be accessed here: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...ht=cyber+knife

If you post on that thread, maybe we will get some updates from those who had posted there (+ some new ones.)
