I will have treatment 20 next week. So far no change. Stage 4 also with mets to bones. Will keep you in my prayers. It's ok to be nervous and afraid. An unknown we have never faced.

I had CyberKnifeon on my left lung very non aggressive the only thing is you have to lay still for an hour at each treatment but it definitely worked wish you the best

Would you tell me about the Cyberknife? My husband's tumor has grown to 5 inches. Is that too big for cyberknife? How many treatments do you need? Thanks for any information you can give me.

Jackie, Thanks for letting us know how things are going for you. I am sorry about the growth, but excited that they are addressing that with Cyberknife. Good luck to you, please keep us posted. And, yes, I can only imagine how you feel right now - but whatever those feelings are, they are normal and yours! We can't help feeling what we feel, this is scary stuff, but please know you have a lot of people cheering for you here.

Prayers and wishing you good luck! I hope you will post results of the cyber knife results. I've been contemplating that treatment as well for my nsclc.

4 different chemo drugs have failed me over the past 2 years. Currently receiving immunotherapy(Opdivo) with good results but interested in the cyber knife treatment. God bless!

Won't know about cyberknief until December. Dr said it takes st least 6 months for results. I am currently having opdivo infusions every 2 weeks. Makes me really sick. Have #7 on Thursday. Trying to stay strong. They just diagnosed my husband with a 5 centimeter mass on his right side of brain. They give him 3 months. Going to Jefferson for s second opinion on the 7. Penn wants to operate but dr said he can not get it all. Praying for strength.

Oh Jackie, how hard to wait, and then to get the news of your husband's diagnosis. I am more sorry than I can say. Will pray for strength for both of you. I am glad you are getting a second opinion (takes so much energy, doesn't it) but is truly worth it, as you know. Prayers, hugs and caring thoughts coming to you.

Jackie, I never prayed much before, but be assured that you and your husband are in my prayers now. Please include all of us in yours also.
