That's great news! Wow, that thing really reduced in size. That's most excellent, I wish you continued shrinkage.

Hi,
Glad to hear you are doing so well.
I'm also in the process of having Cyberknife.  May I ask how many sessions of CK you had? 
My hearing is also normal and I would like to give it the best chance to preserve it.

Hi - sorry, I did not see your message. I had 3 CK treatments. I live on the East Coast (Northern VA) and had to travel to Stanford to get this done, so I had two days of prep and then 3 days of treatment. Hope your treatments were smooth and uneventful!

Congrats on the great news!  I just got back from Stanford today and I think I will doing the Cyberknife as well. So much to process and decide about. If anyone would like to weigh in on possible negatives I would like to know.  I was told due to the location and size of my tumor that Cyberknife would be the best choice. 

One of my concerns if the short term aftereffects and what those can be?
