Here's a photo I found on-line of the type of fiducials that will be implanted on Monday. Yes, the first step in Cyberknife has started. I'm scheduled for the surgical procedure as an outpatient at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore on Monday morning at 11:00 am. This photo gives us a good idea of the size of the gold seeds (the four straight bars on the right) that will be placed in and around the liver tumors. We understand that the procedure will be done much like a needle biopsy. I won't even have to miss a day of school for this procedure as it is being done on a holiday. I should be back at work on Tuesday with little to no side-effects. This radiosurgery is absolutely amazing! More later!
