At Last A Plan!

This is a Cyberknife.

I was on the telephone all afternoon with doctors, but at last we have a plan of attack! It has been determined that Grizelda is a cavernous lymphangioma and not a hemangioma. With this determination and several other things I won't bore you with it was determined that we can go forward with the radiation. Friday they will do all of the preliminary work necessary to program the cyberknife and then Tues., Wed., and Thurs. of next week the cyberknife will do its work and hopefully we will be rid of Grizelda forever!

Thanks so much for your prayers and letters, emails, comments and all the concern and love. It has meant so very much to me. You are all wonderful!

Sherrie, my friend...Glad to know the plan is in place and I have two new words to google. I cheer and pray for you and I think Grizelda will learn she has more than met her match. Love to you and Carl.

It looks like they've really done their homework. May is a month of renewal and is the perfect time to show Grizelda the door once and for all. I hope this part of the journey is alsmost done for you and you'll finally be able to look at this as part of your past, not your present.(I'm trying to be patient, too :)) You know we'll be praying and cheering for you.

I was wondering what a cyberknife was. I am glad they have a plan. We will be praying for you as always. I love you. Sorry I can't be there by you. It's hard being far away!

You and your family are in our prayers! Your name is also on the prayer roll at the Oklahoma City Temple.

My mom had a date with Mr. Cyberknife last year for a visitor that had the potential to cause hearing loss. She had a quick and full recovery. We will pray for the same success with your situation.

My friend in Cailfornia had the Cyberknife last year for a brain tumor in close proximity to yours. It is shrinking! We pray that you will have the same success.
