Hello Kelly,

I hope this post finds you experienceing results that continue to bepositive. Soon, I believe you will be receiving another PET scan and if it is like the last then that will be terrific.

Thanks for mentioning that Dr. Heron and OR past along their hellos. I meet with Dr. Heron a number and Dr. OR, and his beautiful assistant) onlt once.

Thanks also for the information above. Do you know what kind of unit was used for your treatment? Initially I thought I would be treated usinga Cyber Knife and each treatment would be about 30 min.Instead I was treated with a unit called "Trilogy" and each treatment only lasted +-5 min.

I have completed the Erbutux part of treatment here in Atlanta a last week I had a first PET scan since treatment. This week I will find out what the results are. I am hoping for the best but fearful that all will not be as I wish. I will be posting the info I receive shortly.

Take care,
nocam
