This article appeared in Barrow Neurological Institute Quarterly in 2004.

Dr Porter (Neurosurgeon) and Dr Brachman (Radiation Oncologist) were on my Gamma Knife Team.

Thank you for the article.  Especially important to me because I will be heading to Standford for CK treatment in two weeks.  This will also help my family understand what is going to happen.  If a person is faced with the giant dilemma of surgery, radio-static, or watch/wait, this helped me confirm my decision.
