Update on my husband, he had Cyberknife in mid August, 2 treatments, early September had seazure. He has been on Zelboraf since late October, off and on to a reduced dose, now 2 twice a day. Had WBR for two weeks 10 treatments, in December finished the 23rd. Good Pet scan late January they were all srinking liver, lungs and nodes. Then MRI mid Feburary, not good more mets and the first one treated in August was bigger, making trouble with the right side of body, no arm movement & can't walk alone.

The Radation sergon said he could help him by doing Cyberknife again on the one's causing problems. So he is now scheduled for next week, maybe two treatments again. The MRI showed he could also have new ones. I'm so freaked out that he is going to have more issues. Like the first time more swelling or something worse. He's been on anti-seaure since September. Feel so bad for him. I was so elated when the Pet Scan came back good, but I knew something was wrong cause he stopped eatting.

Laurie — I think most people probably feel they can't give you good answers here so you haven't gotten any replies. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. I know what some patients in the past have done SRS many times, so I wouldn't be too afraid of that. If the doc feels it could help, it's probably worth a try. Good luck and let us know how things go.
