CyberKnife

No, CyberKnife is not surgery.

I saw the CyberKnife radiation oncologist today. Looks like I'm a candidate. Now we wait to see if insurance will approve.

He is recommending CyberKnife treatment for the residual mass in the nasopharynx and surgery for the positive lymph node in the neck, followed by maybe more radiation to just the neck area.
