Thanks Brenda, I'm going to read every last thing I can find on this. Yes, I do know that originally it was used to treat inoperable brain or skull tumors, but now it's used for cranial, head & neck, skull, spine, bone, liver, pancreas, lung and prostate tumors. The machine and the department in Winthrop Hospital here on Long Island is pretty new. They no longer have to put you inside of an MRI machine. The CyberKnife unit rotates around the patient. It also compensates for breathing, swallowing and any other voluntary or involuntary motion of the body.

I liked what the nurse coordinator of the department said to my Uncle Bob when he spoke to her. She said "out there, they use the word terminal. In here, we don't use that word."
While I'm certainly not putting all my eggs in one basket, I am overjoyed that my Aunt said she'd go willingly! I'm happy she's willing to try ANYTHING that's medically verifiable.

Let's hope and pray she gets accepted. We'll find out very soon.
