This is a type of radiation that they use on brain tumors. @webeishere Grandpa Bob Olson is doing this right now.
There are pictures on FB of the headgear he has to have.
I also see some of his mylot friends have posted to his and his daughter's post.
Pray if you are someone who does that and send positive thoughts.
He seems in really good spirits.

Radiation can help more than you know, It opened Tony`s lung by burning that tumor out of the way, the second time it was another tumor and they blasted it too. Radiation has kept Tony alive and its less pain that chemo any day.
Prayers sent to Bob

Both he and his daughter Mandy are connected to me on FaceBook so I am glad to share what I hear from them.

He is absolutely a silly soul. Posting pictures of the head set they screwed into his skull. Later showing us his gauze wrap and saying it is his new head band.

He will have MRI's every three months to make sure it does not come back.

The procedure went well. He is back home being ornery now.
