That healthy, radiated glow


I had my first and last Cyberknife treatment today. The doctor sort of suprised me with good news when we came in. He said that in consulting with the other Cyberknife doctors that they have found that the best treatment for my particular type of tumor was not multiple small doses, but one larger dose. So I guess I'm all done! It was just as uneventful as they said. I just lay there on the table listening to classical music and a small amount of clicking and zapping for about thirty minutes and that was all. No side effects so far, so I'm praying for more of nothing! He said it is possible I could lose small amounts of hair, where the beams might have overlapped, but probably minimal or none. The picture is of the mask they made for me to keep my head still on the table. They attach the sides to the table and it keeps you pinned down. So I have my Cyberknife souveniers - my mask, my special pillow, a Cyberknife polo shirt and pen. All that for a mere $$$$$???? But as Trevor prayed tonight (after he got to see the cool robot that zapped Mommy) - Thank you God for putting that robot in that office and for giving that doctor all those good ideas and such a smart brain in his head! AMEN!

  1. I love Trevor's prayer. We've prayed it several times ourselves. P.S. I'm thinking halloween costume...
