in Long-Term Effects of Treatment #1

I have been told I'm no longer a candidate for traditional radiation.  Being referred to CyberKnife.  Does anyone have experience with CyberKnife?

Thanks for any comments or advice.

    The best

    I had a tumor show up at the base of my skull.  I had already had other surgeries and radiation as well as chemo.  I had Cyberknife on the tumor, 5 days, 45 minutes each.  The only side effect was fatigue for 2 weeks.  It worked.  No burns or mouth sores.  I don't know where your cancer is but I would go for it.  I am on the Head and Neck board.
