Title: Cyberknife treatment after surger
Post by: kitty22 on May 22, 2016, 03:41:11 pm
I had surgery 3 years ago and my last MRI showed new growth starting.  I am not a candidate for Gamma due to the size and location.  Has anyone had this same situation and if so can you let me know how it went.  I am planning to have Cyberknife in next few months.

Not really sure why you would not be a candidate for gamma, the same rules apply..
It's probably more of a local treatment centre decision. What size is your tumour

I had surgery, (translab), 7 years ago and now have regrowth.   My tumour is now 24X18X22mm and I am booked for CK next month.  What size is yours?

I had my tumor removed 3 years ago also - all except a tiny piece on my hearing nerve.  They were trying to see if they could preserve my hearing.  This winter (at about 2 1/2 years) I had Cyber Knife to take care of the remnant.  Piece of cake for me - no after affects at all.  It was like taking a nap for 30 minutes and walking out.  We'll hopefully watch the remnant die over time.  I hope your experience is as pleasant!
