90 Days Post CK
« on: March 06, 2007, 04:02:12 pm »
Hello all,

Well today marks 90days post Cyberknife treatment at Rocky Mountain Cyberknife.  Things have finally started to settle out this week.  My tinitus seems to be reduced (yea!!), My hearing on the AN side is just about the same to slightly weaker than before treatment but my audiologist seems to think she can help me with a hearing aid.  I pick it up this week.  The oddest side affect is that I seem to have lost that feeling in my gut when I am falling, like elevators and roller coasters and such.  So far it has not been a problem, just odd.

After a few weeks of taking Tylenol and Ibuprophen like candy I have almost gone a week without.

All and all I feel like I made a good decision to go to RMCK, they even helped be out a bit with a payment plan for my balance.  This removed some stress from my life as well.

Thanks for all of the good wishes from this group and I send my best wishes out to all of you who are in process, and to all the watch and waiters out there.

Jim
