Gamma knife radiosurgery

Has anyone had gamma knife radiosurgery at Mayo and what was the outcome? Do you recommend it. What was your experience? Do it resolve the pain. Thank you

I had it for a tumor in my head to stop the growth. Had it done at St. Luke’s in Milwaukee. Minimal short term side effects. Did damage hearing and balance in treated side.

I just had radiation therapy for five days and the most uncomfortable part was the mask they put on your face but it’s not that bad. I do have hair lost in that area now just hoping I don’t have a bald spot there but I do feel a slight burning inside my head at times and numb feeling on my right side at times my tumor was on my left side. But I still do things I usually do with little problems. Hugs for you.
