Neurosurgen and spine mets

Hi girls I have been busy with getting MRI's of the entire spine and brain. (no cancer in the brain). The neurosurgeon I saw yesterday had the same idea that I did of the approach I wanted to take regarding my spine which is proactive. I asked him about the cyberknife and he said since the cancer is so wide spread the cyber knife is for specific areas. but he also mentioned there is a procedure where they can inject "cement", to make the vertebrea stable. Again, this was not my onc taking a proactive approach but my primary care doctor helping me. I think this will be an intersting bit of knowledge so I'll keep you all posted. Luv and healing prayers for us all. Matti
