Description:

In total, I had 5 sessions of one hour each. Shortly after the last session, the doctor noted a reduction in the tumor. The first session was a little bit difficult because I was stressed, but I quickly adjusted, and after a few sessions I wasn’t afraid anymore. I had never had radiation, so I didn’t know what to expect. The treatment was amazing. It’s like an X-ray; you feel nothing. I had no impotency, no urination problems, no burns, no problems whatsoever. I was able to undergo my CyberKnife treatments during my lunch hour and would then head right back to work. I was amazed that I didn’t feel a thing. It was so convenient, and I felt great throughout the entire process. The CyberKnife System is the first and only fully robotic radiotherapy device. CyberKnife uses an approach called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SRS SBRT), delivering precise doses of radiation with extreme accuracy — and accounting for tumor or patient movement in real-time. The CyberKnife System uses leading-edge robotics and artificial intelligence technology, but it’s not new. CyberKnife is approved for treating a variety of cancers, including brain tumors, breast, liver, lung, pancreatic and prostate cancers. Important Safety Statement: Most side effects of radiotherapy, including radiotherapy delivered with Accuray systems, are mild and temporary, often involving fatigue, nausea, and skin irritation. Side effects can be severe, however, leading to pain, alterations in normal body functions (for example, urinary or salivary function), deterioration of quality of life, permanent injury and even death. Side effects can occur during or shortly after radiation treatment or in the months and years following radiation. The nature and severity of side effects depend on many factors, including the size and location of the treated tumor, the treatment technique (for example, the radiation dose), the patient s general medical condition, to name a few. For more details about the side effects of your radiation therapy, and if treatment with an Accuray product is right for you, ask your doctor. Educating others about your experience with the CyberKnife® System can help others who face similar decisions about their own cancer treatment choices.
