Stereotactic Radiosurgery Surgery (Gamma or Cyberknife) for Meningioma

I did have Gamma knife for my menginoma to try to slow or stop the growth of the tumor. I didn't have any symptoms a that time other than vertigo due to Menierer's disease. Unfortunately the procedure didn't work for me and the tumor started to grow rapidly causing strokes and seizures resulting on emergency brain surgery.

I’m sorry your grew even from the treatment resulting in strikes and seizures. Thank you for letting us know you needed surgery. I was also pondering doing radiation instead of surgery. But this has helped me make a decision. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for sharing. i’m sorry you have been through so much and i hope you are ok now.

I greatly appreciate that you shared that the Gamma isn’t always a “miracle cure” .
