@jmb73 Hi,
I'm wondering how you are now (5 yrs later)? I'm having Gamma Knife procedure at Northwestern in Chicago in April, and frankly, frightened.
Janeelaine.

@janeelaine I'm doing well. I didn't have to have gamma knife radiation. I was given brain radiation for 30 treatments. My tumor is stable. The Dr says I can have an MRI every year now instead of every 6 months.
I hope you find some answers on here before your treatment. I will keep you in my prayers.

@janeelaine, I can understand your being frightend to get brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or Gamma Knife treatment. I'm tagging @jmb73 @mrector @purpleturtle @gammaqueen and others who can share more about what to expect.
