Waiting for MRI results

hi! the PET scan last week showed that the chemo is working well systemically, but there is one spot on my spine, the T5 vertebrae that is well lit up.  On the PET, it looks like it hasn't invaded the spinal column, but its right up next to it.  So, radiation was suggested as an additional way to stop the progression of this one lesion. I went to see my radiation oncologist, was referred to one that specializes in brain and spine radiation, and he would like to do stereotactic radiosurgery on that vertebrae.  Instead of a little bit of radiation over several weeks, like i've had in the past for the lesions on my legs and chest, or even the radiosurgery i had on my liver with only 5 doses, this one will be lots of radiation, pinpointed, all at once over a day. Pretty cool:) i'm thrilled that it's all done on one day, no going back and forth to the hospital every day for several weeks, which is not only inconvenient but also depressing.  Plus the rad onc says that even tho this is more expensive (thanks be to blue cross blue shield) it has a much improved result and might even cure that spot completely.
So, i went for an MRI yesterday, and am awaiting results so that the doc will know exactly where to radiate, hafta meet with a neurosurgeon since my spine is involved, and hafta go for a mapping appointment where they set everything up, then the actual appointment, all of which im hoping will be done before i go back to RIT Sept 3.
The rad onc, Dr Usuki, was hired by my favorite rad onc, Dr O'Kunieff, before he deserted me for a great job in FL;), so i trust him, and he seems very capable and willing to explain everything to me. Ill let you know when the appointment is so you can send me good vibes.  Although the risk of spinal injury are slim, they're serious, so all the good vibes we can get are needed!
