Has anyone been treated with the new Gamma Knife Perfexion?
« on: April 20, 2008, 10:49:10 am »
If so, can you tell me about the experience, the time it took, your tumor size and how you are doing now? What did Dr. say about possible short term side effects, possible long term side effects and the probablility of these as well as probability of tumor growth afterwards. :)

Thank you,

Mary

Mary,
I saw some posts on Perfexion maybe a couple of months ago, but looks like before your time here.  I think it was from a patient who had just received treatment.  Probably the easiest way to find them is type "Perfexion" in the search box up top.  Good luck.
