Linda Ward: Linda's Story - Liver Metastases and CyberKnife

In this patient testimonial, Linda Ward talks about her experience with pancreatic cancer and the CyberKnife treatment. Linda Ward was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009. Linda was not a candidate for surgery and was not considering a liver transplant at this point in her life. Linda's tumor happened to be a little larger than most of the tumors that are treated and she has been through fourteen treatments. She has learned how to manage and live with her cancer. Throughout all of her treatments, Linda was not worried about any negative impact at all from the CyberKnife. It is so focused and there is very little collateral damage to surrounding organs. Linda is very excited to have this tumor reduced in size. For more information about radiation oncology at Swedish, please visit http://www.swedish.org/Services/Radio...
