on liver tumor Cyberknife,...a type of stereotatic radiation that targets just the tumor and side effects are minimal. With Robert's tx, docs had to place "markers" around the tumor, and map into the computer the location. the markers kept the radiation beams on the tumor, which moves around because of his breathing. He had three treatments which effectively killed the tumor.
Don't know if this is what they are planning for your dad.
