Welcome Hampshire. More than likely, once you get into the routine of the treatment, it will be doable for you. there is a good chance you will have tumor shrinkage and that will definitely be a feel good moment. don M

Will, I am sorry it has come to this for the both of you. You both have my prayers. don M

wow indeed. 5 years. congratulations Becky! Don M

Hi Cat; I think the cyberknife people will be able to help your sister. If the tumor is less than 4 cm and there is no lymph node activity, she should be ok. I had a 7 cm tumor with my ck and they could not give me the full strength dose. We were hoping to just get stability or shrinkage and not get collateral damage. I got pneumonitis anyway. It is still unclear if the ck is affecting my tumor, but it probably did not stop it. My tumor is an unusual one in that it resists treatment at every step. I am sure you sister would have very good results. Don M

Welcome Dannie: I had to take an early retirement because I could not work in the woods any more after my left lung was gone. I am on tarceva now for a tumor in my right lung. I hope your treatment goes well for you. Don M

Get well soon Katie...you have my prayers. don M

I think it is all a crapshoot until truly indivualized cancer treatment arrives. Don M

I hope you mother-in-law attains the same great results as your dad. Don m
