Dear Charity,
Thank you for your thoughtful update. How large are the mets which are being treated on your C5 and femur, and was Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) considered or possible as a treatment option? As you may remember, RFA was successfully used to treat Brittany's tibia met in September 2004, and thankfully there has not been any reoccurrence of that tumor to this point. Our greatest Hope and best wishes will be with you for a very successful response and outcome to your radiation treatment.
With special caring thoughts and continued Hope,
Bonni
