A very quick post and some pics regarding today’s Gamma Knife surgery. First, everthing went perfectly and it was successfully completed today. A long day it was. We were there at 7:30am and left at 2:00pm. I will get into more details later about the process (this is #2 for me) I thought it would be helpful for some to see pictures of the actual prep involved in Gamma Knife - the prep consumes most of time.
Warning for the squeamish – some of these pics may not be for you. After all, they are screwing a device to my head to render it immobile while receiving high dose precision radiation from the machine:

Love to you mark, and I hope you are resting well today.
Hi Mark and Rachael
Thank you for sharing with us such personal pictures. We’re praying for you today!
Lots of love and hugs to you!
Amber,
Thanks so much for your note. Certainly one of the objectives I set out to accomplish with this blog was not only to update friends/family on my condition but also to try and help people through my own experiences. If I can share my experiences with others who are afflicted with this disease, my own research – and it helps just one person – I’m happy about it.
God bless
Hi Mark,
I just want to tell you that I’ve been following you & your family’s journey of brain cancer and life.. You’ve been a great inspiration. I connected with you about 2 1/2 years ago after my diagnosis & surgery of Oligoastrocytoma III. Thank you for your blog. It truly means a lot. I just lost a really good friend to cancer, not brain, but cancer. He was 33. I am 32 today. I’ve lost my “cancer buddy”. You have kept A good fight! our prayers continue for you & your family. Much Love,
Cassi (Phoenix, Arizona)
