Title: Finished my ck!
Post by: cbp on March 03, 2009, 06:13:56 pm

I am glad to have finished my cyberknife treatments last week and be on the "other side" of treatment. It seemed like it took me such a long time to decide on treatment, but once I did, everything moved so quickly and now I'm done. They were able to cover both of my AN's in a single field of radiation. I am feeling ok...pretty tired and I actually think that coming off the darn Decadron is the worst part of the whole thing.  So far, my hearing is still good, a little dizzy, but I was dizzy pre-ck, so that was expected.
Thanks to everyone who posts here, it is so nice to know that you are company of others who "get it".
Now, I get to do the waiting game that comes along with ck and hoping for the best!

Yay for postie Camille!

It's great that they got both ANs. You will no doubt have some odd feelings in the days ahead, but the outlook is bright. :)

Congrats on Postie-hood! OMG! You got a "BOGO" (buy one, get one for free!)... a "2-fer!"   :)  Very thrilled it has worked out, that they were able to zap both of them and wellness wishes to you!

Congratulations!

Congrats!!!  Deciding on treatment is such a relief but having treatment over with, even better.  Take care of yourself.
