I accumulated a few studies about GK.

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/857604-overview#showall

http://thejns.org/doi/pdf/10.3171/2012.7.GKS12783

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19050660

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19783373

In this last link some of the articles have font glitches but you can copy the text into a word processor and increase the font size so you can read the articles.

I chose GK because I was 65, I was already deaf on the AN side, the tumor was small.

Plus, I keep reading about younger-and-younger people opting for radiation. Even teenagers.
