Charm,
I was aware that you had the Cyberknife treatment, but not aware of the time frame - eating and swallowing was not one of the possible side effects spoken about but that may because of the location of our Cancers. My RO seems to think that one of the biggest risks is that I may well incur nerve damage that will render my left arm next to useless, but he said it's really hard to predict exact outcomes once we venture into unsafe radiation territory. He says that risks start to rise very quickly at a certain point but that, that point is different for every individual. Based on my previous history he thinks I can handle more but with a significant risk factor. At least I will be an inpatient so I can be monitored closely. As the 30th looms closer I'm starting to feel the fear building!

David,
I'm starting to think that those of you who are HPV+ are the lucky ones! (If you can call anyone with OC lucky) Killing this cancer is foremost in my thinking everyday. Hopefully come the 18th December I will walk out of the hospital, both arms swinging (with maybe a naso gastric tube) and be able to spend a quiet Christmas in the sanctuary of my home with my husband and children.
