The Oncologist recommended radiation treatment, which eliminated all of the seed tumors. Shortly after that process he told us there was nothing further he could do and referred us to a Neurosurgen close by in Las Vegas. The Neurosurgen told us that his skills would not be 100% successful and referred us to Scripps hospital in La Jolla, California, for their Gamma Knife surgery. No cutting tissue stuff, but beaming 220 beams of radiation into the tumor to alter its DNA, which killed all of the tumors. It is a highly technical process but is very effective. Susan eventuall passed away, not from the brain tumors, but from the seed tumors moving from the brain via the cerebrospinal fluid down into the spine. The Scripps Doctors were great, but the Oncologist in Las Vegas did not do any bone scans of her spine, which would have detected the seed tumors growing there. Eventually there were several tumors in her spine which caused her to become paralized and she finally decided to give up. I highly recommend the Gamma Knife process for brain tumors. I have read that there are a couple of medical facilities doing a gamma knife type process on tumors in the spine and other parts of the body. If I had only known this eight years ago.

It is the best thing for your family to endure this together and it will bring you all closer. I have lost loved ones to the damn cancer diseases and its never easy for all involved,but the fact that you have the ability to write about it and share your thoughts on what you think is best for everyone is very brave trait and shows how much you love and are focusing on whats best indeed. This New York Hack has your spirit in his taxi and will honk in front of all the churchs in NYC that I pass by as my prayers for you. My best wishes for you.
