Guest DeeHee Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 A new doctor at the University Cancer Center mentioned it as a possibility depending on how some new testing turns out. Ever have it? Know anything about it? Recovery time? DeeHee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi DeeHee! You've been on my mind my friend!!! I have to ask you a silly question. Could you maybe explain a little clearer to what it is you need to know? Where are they talking about doing the Cyberknife Surgery? Maybe give us a better picture of what is going on if you would please? Thank you my dear! I hope you liked Dr. Dudek? He's a very good Onc. Doctor! Your in GOOD HANDS! Love & Hugs, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have a friend with nsclc and she had the cyberknife procedure. Based on what she told me, there is no use of the metal head frame with this procedure, as I think there might be with gamma knife. She lives in Minnesota too...but I have no idea where she was treated. I DO know that she is doing quite well...and in fact recently flew from Minnesota to Massachusetts to visit her daughter and then drove to Connecticut!! Far as any other differences, I don't have a clue...but my friend was very happy not to have had to have the metal frame attached to her head with the cyber knife procedure.
