Hi,
My dad had Gamma this past summer for brain cancer (fibrosarcoma). Where did you have your treatment done? My dad had his in Pittsburgh with one of the founding Gamma doctors. He had a lot of inflammation from the radiation, but it just gave him pretty severe headaches and caused some mental confusion. He has been on steroids for the past year for other treatments as well.
Due to the site of my dad's tumor (around his optic nerve), the doctors warned us ahead of time that he might suffer some personality changes from Gamma. I have not noticed anything too drastic except for the fact that he doesn't really know what "not to say" in public anymore? He used to be a very quiet guy in public but now he feels free to tell all cashiers that their stores' prices are ridiculous and exactly what's on his mind. His stubborness has also been off the charts, but that could be due to the chemo he's been having too.
Hope any of that helps.
Good luck, stay strong!

Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that if you or your son ever need any Interferon tips or advice you can always send me an email! I went through Interferon at 15 years old as a stage 3A patient and did not have too many side effects after the first month. I still competed in my three sports in high school (obviously I was behind everyone else but it did wonders to keep my spirits up!)
I hope everything goes well for you and your family.
Good luck!
