I asked if anybody had this done two weeks ago.
We went ( my wife )to the Cleveland Clinic on Tues. and received
the treatment. They found a total of 7 tumors in the brain. The biggest was 2.2cm. It took 4 hours to do it.
We go back in 2 months to see if it was successful. I highly recommend it. The key is a longer quality of life.

    That is great news. I am glad to hear they were able to perform this procedure on your wife. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it was a complete success. I was just wondering, I can't remember, how did your wife first discover that she had these mets? Was her CEA elevated? Is that a good marker for her?
    Just curious,

    I'm glad to hear that your wife was able to have the treatments. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a very successful outcome. My mom had Cyberknife for adrenal mets. Worked like a charm, and the doctors were wonderful. Your right, the key was a longer quality of life. My mom enjoyed almost 3 months of no pain after the Cyberknife. We traveled, gambled, visited relitives and had a wonderful time. Wishing the best for you and your wife.

    Thanks for your prayers and support.
    My hope is somebody will see this because there is other
    TREATMENTS out there and so they don`t give up hope.
