Hi Bart,

I had 26 treatments on a novalis machine at Jefferson Univ in Philadelphia, I too had concerns , especially after reading many negatives about it, but after speaking to the main person at jeff, I felt confident about it, and after all the treatments I am still happy I went with that choice,  they were very professional and experienced, which I think  helped, my last treatment was in Dec of last year and as of today I've had no really bad side affects, I would check with the facility that you are thinking about going to and ask them many questions , about their machine and their experience, it may help you decide,  I hope I helped answer any questions.

Peggy,

Wow, 26 treatments!  I was very interested to read your story.  I have been told of 3 sessions with Cyberknife by Barrow in Pheonix.  How is your hearing in the treated ear?

Dr. Chang told me the CK has a .7mm accuracy compared to Novalis of 1.4mm.  That sold me on CK.
