Side effects of gamma knife treatment

Posted by anovo69 @anovo69, Jun 27 4:34pm

I had gamma knife treatment two months ago. During the past couple of weeks my balance has worsened to the point I cannot do my basic balance exercises. Does this mean the tumor is still growing, or am I having delayed side effects of the treatment?

Opinions sre so spread out, here's mine for just the balance part. Take a day or two, relax and think about anything else but recovery. It takes time. Mine is so different week to week it can be scary. Depending on how you heal, you could be pushing to hard. I do all the time. This week paying the price. Gonna take weeks to get back what this downtime could have been. Anything related to the brain takes lots of time to heal. If you are still uncertain about it in a few days get with the doc and let him know how your doing. Wishing you good vibes with hugs and lucky blessings passed out to you 🙏 also.

How are you feeling ? How many treatments did you have to have ? Are you in US? Are they using the Gamma Knife for a sacroma ? I am sorry you are going thru all of this . My husband is going to have the Gamma Knife in August because we have no other options to treat his chondrosacroma wrapped around cartoid artery . Please feel better 🙏🙏🙏
