I have a rare Ovarian .cancer called Granulosa Cell Tumour and the main treatment is surgery until this becomes impossible.

i was just wondering if any of your lovely ladies had received Cyberknife treatment on any of your Tumours. I believe you have to meet very strict criteria but just wanted to ask the question.

Many Thanks

Hi Derbies, I've not got ovarian cancer, but have had cyberknife to treat a secondary brain tumour ( primary is kidney cancer)

I had 3 x 20 mins sessions over 3 consecutive days in 2013.

I believe the tumour has to b smaller than a certain size - 3 cm if I remember correctly.

Hope that helps

Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.

Hi Sue, thanks for your reply.

At the moment I believe that both my tumours are below 3cm, it’s just going to be such a big surgery and long recovery. If I could access Cyberknife it would be so much better and a lot less painful!

Hope you’re still doing OK.

Debbie
