Topics Covered:
The new meeting location is the Stanford Cancer Center, 875 Blake
Wilbur Drive, just across the street from the Blake Wilbur Clinic
you are more familiar with. This is a beautiful new building and
we have a conference room upstairs. Parking ($5) in the Blake Wilbur
Parking Lot is reimbursed or you can park for free at the end of
Blake Wilbur Drive.
The
CPSG web site continues to receive a tremendous amount of attention
as
the primary source of information generated on behalf
of CyberKnife patients. More doctors are responding to patients
and each other about treatment options. We encourage you to share
your story as inspiration to others. If you’d like to add
your experience to the CPSG web site, please contact Valorie at
valorieD@comcast.net for her assistance.
Mark
will be in a Mercury News article this week-end as a CyberKnife
patient along with Dr. Steve Chang. Mark will be in his riding
attire posed with his bike. Donald was also interviewed last
March and mentioned the CPSG. Articles such as these help to promote
and alert individuals about the possibility of the CyberKnife and
its benefits.
Stanford
Community Day is April 10 at Stanford, 10:00am – 4:00pm.
CK Society will have a small display in the Health Tent. Valorie
and Dianna, Accuray, will be hosting the booth. This may reach
you too late to be of value and I apologize for the delay in getting
this information out.
We
need to become more visible at the CyberKnife suites at Stanford
and UCSF to promote the Patient Advocacy Program and to provide
information to potential patients. There will be a concentrated
effort to contact these sites to see how we can be more available.
It would be great to organize another CyberKnife Patient Reunion.
Stanford would be the ideal setting. We can see what interest they
have in participating at some level; likewise with CK Society.
More to follow but if you would like to see another reunion, we
welcome your suggestions and participation.
We continue to pursue the 5013C status and hope to make progress
in the coming months.
Christina provided a brief update on her progress after treatment
last year for an Acoustic Neuroma. She has made a tremendous recovery.
We’d
love to hear from you.
Next Meeting: July 9th
