We are very disappointed, to say the least. The CyberKnife board has fully reviewed Aunt Rosemary's case and has rejected her as a candidate saying that this type of radiation would do her more harm than good as far as her mouth, tongue, jaw are concerned and the tumor in her lung is TOO SMALL (a half a pea) to be radiated by the CyberKnife.

I've gotten my Uncle the contact information for the Monter Cancer Center, a branch of North Shore University Hospital and I'm hoping they get an appointment there asap. My Mom is an eleven year survivor of Stage 2 breast cancer because the of the excellent care she received and continues to receive at Monter.

Right now, I want to stand underneath the elevated train tracks of the Long Island Rail Road and scream my head off as the train goes by!!! Trying to find a treatment modality that Aunt Ro will say yes to, has become a full time job and yet I can't stop myself from trying to find doctors, a center, a treatment- that she'll agree to.
