I completed my CK treatments at Stanford on Friday and met with the vestibular therapist at the end of the day. The treatments went very well with no complications. I didn't experience any nausea, headaches, or increase in symptoms. I'm truly amazed by this process and am optimistic that it will result in the tumor not growing any further.

Thanks to all the doctors at Stanford and to all the folks on this forum who helped me make a decision on having CyberKnife!

I am now two weeks post-CK and am very happy to report no changes in symptoms from before the treatments. My energy level seems to be normal. Hoping this continues!

Now a month post CK. Thankful to be able to say that I've had no issues relating to hearing, balance, or any other potential issues. Feeling truly blessed!
