What are your experiences with patients going through Gamma Knife surgery for Acoustic Neuroma & Meningioma tumors? Does it cause more harm than good, does it last forever or will I still have to have tumors surgically removed?

@annamae1952, I look forward to hearing responses from the doctors to your questions about stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which is sometimes referred to as gamma dnife or cyberknife surgery.

SRS has been discussed a lot among Connect members living with meningioma and acoustic neuromas. You may wish to join in these conversations:
