Hi. I had Gamma Knife this past March. The only thing that I didn’t like (which I was knocked out for) they installed a metal halo to my head. I had 2 screws in the front of my skull and 2 in the back of my skull. They use the halo to lock your head in place so it doesn’t move during the procedure. I was semi conscious during the procedure, no pain or anything. Taking out the screws was easy. I had to keep my pin holes clean until they healed. I have scar tissue where the pin holes were. No complications. I get my 6 month check up in September. It’s amazing I was there for 6 hours, then went home. Here’s hoping my next MRI reveals only good progress. 🤞🏻

I wish you a speedy recovery after your procedure.
It sounds scary having a halo screwed into your skull for gamma knife surgery but it’s really Informative that you’ve explained the procedure.
All this is new to me so reading everybody’s experiences, advice and replies is priceless., thank you.
