Cyberknife
“
NEW DELHI: Offering hope in several cases of technically inoperable tumours, the most advanced CyberKnife robotic radio surgery system will be available to cancer patients from next week at the Apollo Specialty Cancer hospital, Chennai
I have been reading about Cyberknife for some time now. Similar news have been appearing in the papers since mid 2008. Initially (beginning of 2009) I was very excited about the new technology and was desperately trying to get in touch with the people at Apollo, Hyderabad and HCG, Bangalore. Me and Bishu Bhaiya tried alot. Finally after a lot of efforts, we get a reply from HCG, Bangalore. They say, they do have the machine, but it won’t be operational until the end of March 2009.
It was so arrrrgggggggghhh.
Well they were better than the people at Apollo. None of them gave me a straight answer. I remember one of the calls where I was asking about Cyberknife, and the guy at the other end kept saying huh? kya? kaun? Wife?
Lets hope that at least this news, from Apollo Chennai - is confirmed and hopefully some patients will be able to benefit from this. At least on paper, Cyberknife seems like a very practical and convenient option.
In papa’s case, Cyberknife is not being considered as of now. The treatment has already started and we want to finish up this course of treatment and after that - look at the other alternatives.
