Title: grown further despite Cyber Knife
Post by: keithmac on August 22, 2017, 05:05:46 am

Can anyone relate to this, a message from my other website BANA in the UK where I'm also a member?

"I had gamma knife treatment for a 9mm AN in 2011. It had grown steadily since then and is now 19mm. I now have a decision to make whether to go for a second gamma knife or surgery. Has anyone else been in the same position and what did you decide to do."

I had regrowth following GK and opted for surgery.  I was concerned about radiation and also wanted the certainty of surgery.  4.5 years later all is well.
