You're downplaying the significance too much. My eldest sister had breast cancer. She had to undergo a couple of months of chemo and believe me, that sucks. It's the most barbaric procedure anyone goes through, except for maybe amputation... since we've stopped doing the lobotomy thing. She had to do the chemo after having a double mastectomy.
Of course the cyber knife machine isn't useful for breast cancer, but one of the main points is that this woman with stage 4 cancer in her intestines, was treated 4 times in 4 days. That was it. Clean bill of health. I'd say that's pretty damn amazing.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
