Hello.

Hi Amanda,

I also want to welcome you & reaffirm what everyone else has said. None of us wanted to have a reason to be here, but we are all greatful that this site is here for all of us. I am glad that you have found us. This is the best place to be when dealing with this horrific cancer. Everyone here is so helpful, caring & supportive. We are also here for you if you just need to vent your feelings. Only those of us who have had the misfortune of having CC affect our lives can truely understand what you are going through. We are all here for both of you when you need us.

I will be hoping for the best for both of you.

Welcome Amanda…very glad you found us here! As Patty said, you’ll find a wonderful group of people who are very knowledgeable, supportive and caring. Every one’s circumstances are so different but we share so much in common. Feel free to ask any questions as there’s usually someone with the answer…or at least an opinion! It’s good to hear that Aime’ is doing well and that the radiation was effective. If the MRI was done very soon after the radiation, it doesn’t always reflect accurately the tumor response. Radiation does keep working for really up to a month or so after the treatment is completed, so scans done too soon sometimes don’t show all of the tumor shrinkage. You might look under the search function for Cyberknife. Lainy’s husband, Teddy, recently completed IMRT external beam radiation with a Cyberknife boost and had very good results, so would be something to look into.

Wishing the best to you both!

Jean
