Pstar Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hi everyone. Had my 6 month chest/abdomen CT scan and brain MRI on Tuesday. The chest/abdomen are looking great. The brain…not so well. I have a 3mm metastasis deposit in the left temporal lobe. I have an apt on this coming Tuesday with my radiation oncologist and the cyber knife surgeon. Wish me luck.

LouT Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Great news on the chest/abdomen scans and worthy of some celebration. A 3mm met is quite small and should respond well to focused rad treatment. So many here speak highly of cyber knife results. Please keep us updated on this. I want to get to where you can celebrate on both chest/abdomen and brain met frying. Lou Tom Galli, catlady91, Pstar and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Pstar, I put a lot of faith in precision radiation. Here's to hoping that brain met gets fried, never to return! Stay the course. Tom Justin1970, LouT and Pstar 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyMir Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 So sorry to hear but a clear chest scan is great news. I am not a doctor but a small brain met might be quite easy to handle with radiation in a competent centre. Wishing you the best of luck!

Karen_L Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 @PstarDang it. You might want to do a little reading about the difference between gamma knife and cyber knife. This seems pretty comprehensive. https://www.princetonneurologicalsurgery.com/radiosurgery-institute/treatment-tools/gamma-knife-vs-cyberknife/ Take deep breaths. You can do this.
