This is such sad news. Chris thank you for letting us know. Condolences and prayers for his family. God Bless, Karen

Randy, Thank you for the article. Your research and articles are very much appreciated. Don't want to be negative, reason's doctors don't tell us, they see $$$ signs upon diadnosis. The people in the trial make money, the doctors do to referral chg.. Not as much as if they would have kept the patient to themselves. This is ust my opinion. I was scared to death when I got my dx.. I just wanted to live, Clinical Trial what's that. Never really paid any attention... Sorry for the rant.. We all learn the hard way How are you and Daisy Dawg doing? Put a big red bow on her and share some nog... Your a Blessing, Merry Christmas Karen

Maryanne, Try the large department store's Macy's, Penny's, Sears. Ladies and men's departments. Hope you can find something... Karen

Harley Davidson Shops. They have large assortments usually... Have fun!!!

Mary, Go to: cyberknifesupport.org/forum There sre real doctors there affiliated with Gammaknife AND Cyberknife. They WILL answer questions very promptly. In fact one os the doctors is from Florida.

Kelly, Sending prayers for your mom. Please keep us posted. She shouldn't have any pain from the treatment.. It is good they are treating her as soon as possible. Look at it this way, she is a candidate for this treatment. The effectiveness for this procedure is 100% effective 80% to 90% of the time. I was told this by 4 radiation oncs.for Gamma and Cyberknife. Great odds I would say...The sooner done, the healing begins. Karen

Bill, Reading your post is like reading a good book. So much said in so few words...thank you. Karen

Thank you for your response. Prayers that all goes well for everyone...Praying for a cure,

Marie, This is awesome news. You are truly blessed. Our prayers go up and blessings come down and we claim them and give Him all the glory... Prayers and hugs, Karen

Kelly, From what I understand. Gammaknife and Cyberknife keeps brain met or mets in control. One can have this treatment over and over, but not with WBR. From what I have read, WBR is old technology... I also had the option of WBR and I chose not go that route due to the side effects. Affects each person differently. Gammakife and CK is so precise and doesn't damage good tissue in the brain. CK is mfg by Accuray.com. and GK is mfg by Leskill(sp?) Liskell (?) Look at Stanford University website... Sending prayers and hugs, Karen

John, I had CK in Oct. for one brain met. I thought it killed the tumor as well as anything surrounding it Had my 1st MRI two weeks ago, according to rad. onc. said tumor is responding very well (Shrinking). The symptoms I had are almost gone and I am off the decadron(yeaaa!!!) I had two open surgeries, 2004 and 2/2006. Had SRS afer the 1st surgery. Nuerosurgeon said it was encapsulated and he got it all, I question what he said. Especially after having SRS after...

Thanks Barb for sharing... Prayers and hugs, Karen

Sandy, Great to hear from you. Sorry to read the news about your mom...It is always difficult. Been there with my father (long story.) Happy things are working out and sending prayers for good results. Please keep us posted. Hugs, Karen Been riding lately ?
