Hi Peg, I totally agree that the docs try but sometimes brush off our concern/symptoms. My neurosurgeon said the Gamma surgery will "hopefully" stop the tumor from growing. I have another MRI in June. If it's growing, he said I may need regular surgery. You are so brave to have had two craniotomies and I don't blame you for not wanting any more. I dread brain surgery or any surgery as I have a compromised immune system. Oh well, we just have to keep going and maybe eat "dark chocolate"! This forum has helped me a lot. Jill walked me through the gamma surgery so I knew what was going to happen and it really helped me. Take care and please keep in touch- Joan
