Cyberknife is a non invasive, sub millimetre accurate cancer treatment that can treat most cancers without the need for surgery or nasty drugs and has no side effects. It can be used for children with cancers with no pain or side effects.
It generally only takes 1 treatment session.
More info can be obtained at:
www.accuray.com including a video of the Cyberknife in use.
Cyberknife is available all over the world. Every state in USA has at least 1 Cyberknife centre.
In fact its available in over 200 centres world wide and treating 1000's of people daily.
For us in Australia to have access to this amazing technology we are required to travel to an overseas country at great expense and stress as it is not covered by our health funds and the Gov't refuses to assist.
Upon return from the overseas destination you are on your own again as any observations of progress need to be done via email, phone etc as the specialist Cyberknife doctor is overseas and Australia has no staff capable of monitoring your progress.
This petition is to force the Gov't in Australia to act and act now to save some of the 40,000 people who die each year from cancer and also to give a more gentle treatment option to those undergoing cancer care now. Our Gov't has been aware of the amazing potential of Cyberknife for over 3yrs as a result of my persistance after my wife had this treatment in USA.
Still nothing is being done but from the 100's of contacts I get every week there is obviously a desperate need for it now.
Please help by joining us in our fight
We now have a "Facebook support group" to get this here, feel free to join others at:
