Fiducial placed for Cyberknife

Wednesday I went to Brookwood to have the Fiducial placed.  It had been exactly 12 weeks to the day since I found out I needed Cyberknife.  This has been a crazy 12 weeks.

Since the beginning of the year, from the scan readings, they have not known exactly where the tumors were.  They said it was very tricky because of their placement.  If you look at the anatomy of the lung, diaphragm and the liver, you will see that those three organs are very close together.  Since January, I knew there were three tumors, just didn't know exactly where they were.  It was thought they were all in the right lung, lower lobe.

Yesterday, the procedure was to be a CT guided fiducial placement.  It was found that the largest tumor was in fact in my liver.  So, they placed the marker for that tumor.
While scanning, several more tumors were found in the right lung.  I don't really know the details as of now.  I will talk to Dr. Tincher and find out.

I'll have a PET Scan on Tuesday row 27th @ 10:00.  Then at 12:30 will have a CT scan.  Will find out soon when I'll actually start the treatments.

I'll be in touch! ~ Kelly
