Lisa,

After I posted I am not sure that what my dad had was the cyberknife.  That is what he callled it.  He went to a hospital in Ft. Wayne and they put four needles in his stomach around the cancer spot in his liver.  They then dropped in seeds which would guide the radiation if I am not mistaken.  He had 3 weeks of radiation to the spot on his liver.  That was in February.  He went back in April for a PET scan and now has 4 more spots.  He is doing a kind of chemo now that will buy him another year or 2.  I hope this information is useful.  He was not pressured at all by his doctors to do any form of treatment.  They made suggestions and that is what he went with.  He does not like us to ask questions.  He really does not want to know.  It is very frustrating for us because I dont feel like we are informed about the decisions we are making.  Or I should say the decisions our dad is making.  Our mother died of a brain tumer 4 yrs ago at age 67.  We ask every question in the book as she wanted to be informed.  My dad is a differnt animal.

Best of luck to you.

Kellie
