      My husband Larry, had his 6th gamma knife on Tuesday…..boy, are brain mets persistent. We’re very thankful that he wasn’t exhibiting any Neuro symptoms and that his team was able to get him in for treatment quickly. This met was new but near an area where he’s had two prior gamma treatments and two brain surgeries. Hope this is the last time we need to deal with this area. This was not the way we wanted to celebrate his 8 year “anniversary” but what can you do! Stay safe and our of harms way!

          So sorry you and Larry had to travel that road again, Ann! Glad the met was caught and zapped!!! Hang in there. Wishing you both many far less exciting “anniversaries” in the future!! Be well. celeste

            We probably had the same team of doctors. I had my first gamma knife 3 weeks ago or so. Not nearly as bad as I envisioned, but I’d be very happy if – however unlikely – I stayed at one.
