Joan - Oh, my! Hawaii! My most favorite place in this world! Sooo Beautiful! Have as much fun as you and your daughter can!
Concerning the SBRT, my Aunt had it done when she was 77. No side effects really, according to her. It was 5 days at 30 minutes a day. That was it. She could go shopping afterward or whatever. No real down time. I guess she got a little tired after one of them but she says that was it. She is now 82 and cancer free for the past 5 years. She had it done because her heart was not healthy enough for surgery. Hers was also small. It’s always worth looking into! Hers was called “Cyberknife” but it is also known as “True Beam” and other names. I hope it will be something you can do!
I had my check up today. Everything looked Great according to the surgeon. Praise Jesus! Lung is already expanding where they took the segments out. Have to go every 6 months for a CT scan , (for 2 years) and if those stay good then it goes to once a year. I feel really good and don’t really have any pain. A twinge here and there is about it. God answered our prayers.
I hope you have a Wonderful time and let me know if they let you do the SBRT. God Bless You, and Good thoughts!
