I am going to consult with a radiation onc later this month to discuss having cyberknife done - I currently have 3 tumors in my brain wihich are all under 1cm and my onc says it would be a good idea- he thinks this procedure is more precise than the gamma- has anyone had it ? What to expect? We got this machine in our area just last Dec.Any input would be aprreciated. God Bless.

Patty Z had CyberKnife a couple of months ago, and posted an account of her experience on the board...if you go to the search page and type in cyberknife you'll get the posts.
You must be excited at the thought of getting at the last of those baddies, good riddance, 'eh?
