Okay experts. I know we do not do medical advise, but I need to know how much and what direction to push!
I just received a call from Cyndi’s Oncologist with the results of her brain MRI. There are “several� lesions approximately 6 to 10 with the largest about one cm. The onc. does NOT think she will be a CyberKnife or Gamma Knife candidate. His reasoning is that if we can see these lesions, that many more are probably not yet visible. The doc’s preliminary advice is to do a WBR in order to eliminate all the small (not yet visible) lesions as well as the lesions we know about.
I think we need to know more about numbers of lesions treatable with Stereotactic Radiation Procedures before we discuss options with the radiation Oncologist. CyberKnife is only available in Dallas at this time, Gamma is available in several more locations. We are about 400 miles from Dallas.
Thanks in advance for ALL you wonderful ladies (and gents) who have been there and are willing to share your experiences and knowledge. Special thanks to those who just lift Cyndi in a short prayer. You guys are great!
God Bless You,
ron
