Pattyz,
Thanks for your experience with the CyberKnife.
Sherry, I had to have MRI of my entire spine - cervical, thorasic and lumbar -- no mets. It's the waiting that get you anxious. I'm praying that everythig will be ok. When you have the MRIs scheduled you can ask your oncologist for a prescription for Ativan and they will give you just enough pills to get you through the MRIs. I think you get one pill for each test. It really helps to relas you while you're in the tube listenting to the thumping or music through headphones that doesn't really keep out the thumping noise. I'm sure everything will be fine.
