The Cancer Survivors Network (CSN) is a peer support community for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and friends! CSN is a safe place to connect with others who share your interests and experiences.
This is pretty cool....

There was an article in yesterday's paper that we will have "True Beam" radiation here at our local Medical Center. I guess it is super high tech, kind of like Cyber-knife (that's what the Oncologist told me when I was there yesterday).....In the beginning, they'll be using it for brain and lung cancer, but will be using it on other cancers as time goes on. The article says that a 7 weeks course of radiation for lung cancer will change to 5 days worth of treatments.....a four week treatment plan for brain cancer will be over in just one day. They are also adding a CT center....before you either got it in the main hospital....or a person had to go to North Valley Hospital in Whitefish to have it done. Instead of one RO, we'll now have two.....the new one is coming from John Hopkin's.
The very cool part of this is......this is small town Montana.....but we have a huge Medical Center. The whole state has less poplulation than Seattle.....
