Psalm 119:114
"You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope"
Back to the real world.......I know I am surrounded by the protection of my God so I will be going in for what is called a Gamma Knife Procedure to further shrink and hopefully completely eradicate :) the tumors in my head. Its pretty much a more specific form of radiation and there is not cutting involved......I mean whose happy when the option to NOT open them up or cut them is offered lol. Its a one time....pretty much all day procedure where I am placed in what looks like a Halo to hold my head still while radiation is administered to the specific tumors instead of to the whole brain like I did before. I won't lie...I'm pretty overwhelmed by this procedure but am confident in my doctors and am thankful that God has lined everything up perfectly so that I can have this procedure. In the midst of my fears.......I hold onto the hope and peace that surpasses all understanding.John 14:1
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me"
Here's a video about Gamma Knife Procedure if it interests you to watch :)
Here is also another place where you can read about it....Just click HERE
Here's something to make you laugh
Now wouldn't you love to have a back to the future thing like that strapped to your head instead of a robo cop looking thing in the pictures next to us :) |
But that's ok cause I'm coming out wearing the newest headress and making all the other cancer patients jealous.... Robo Cop Here I Come lol |

Thank you so much for the video! It's always so helpful to be informed as to how it all works. What an amazing thing --- such advances in brain surgery!!!! My brother had this done a few years ago, and it was 100% successful. Praying for you!!!
Praying for you sweet girl!
this looks so similar to what i experienced with the brachytherapy. I am so glad they have this procedure for you! They are beyond awesome with this technology. In thought and prayer for you! (yeah, i DO envy the halo...they let me keep my balloon contraption, but it--well, it just isn't the same! ;-D)
Just stopping by to let you know I'm still praying for you! Hope everything is going well!
