Hello. I am late in joining this conversation, as I just found this discussion group today. I have a hypoglossal schwannoma that was discovered in 1998, treated with GammaKnife (GK) in 2003 at UPMC, and am very grateful that the treatment successfully stopped the growth. The tumour is located within my hypoglossal canal, and follow-up imaging has demonstrated that is stopped growing as a result of the GK.

More recently a meningioma was discovered in my parafalcine brain region, in the left frontal lobe. I will be having another GK procedure sometime later this year (in 2024). If there is anyone who would like to ask any questions about my case or share more about theirs, I'd be interested in discussing through this forum.
