Early palliative treatment with Targeted radiotherapy
Listen. We have four Cyberknife systems the NHS, all funded by donation and appeal. Cyberknife is totally non-invasive able to access tumours deemed inoperable They are underused. More people should be able to access them. Ideally, we need one system for each NHS region. This could be achieved, not only with NHS money but by the people in the regions appealing for donations from the public.

Why is this important?
Lives can be saved / extended with improved quality. No hospitalisation required and patients are able to walk away from treatment and resume normal life. There are little or no side effects, it is painless and there is little or no damage to surrounding healthy tissue. No long drawn out treatment, it is carried out in between one and five treatments, (more often than hot, three.)
There is no risk of infection and no lengthy recovery periods either.
