Hello. My question is, can the CyberKnife system offer a way for my mother to finally be pain free after five years. She has tumors that have attached to the nerves of her right leg and she experiences pain everyday of her life. Shes the bravest person i know for dealing with such extreme pain but still being able to go to work to provide for my sister and I. Please if there is a way i can help her escape the pain, i would love to hear from anyone. Thank you in advance


Anthony

We would need to see the films. I would suggest getting her scans to the CK center of your choice for review. You can find the nearest one at http://accuray.com/CyberKnifeCenters/index.aspx CK is generally very good for treating schwannomas.
