Gamma Knife Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Barbars, I am very new at this but Gamma Knife I do know about as

I have had one. I am in hopes that the results were promising. Did

you have any after effects? Fortunately my husband was still living

and well as I don't know waht I would have done. I had to go to

Kansas City to Research Medical Center for mine and it had to be

done as out-patient only, but we had to spend the night in Kansas

City. The closest motel we could find was off of the interstate and

it wasn;t too long after we checked in that my eyes started swelling

shut. My husband was panicy, but he managed somehow to improvise

and make ice packs (he called the hospital and they said to keep

icepacks on my eyes all night long and bring me back early the next

morning) he went to the restaurant/bar and ordered something for us

to eat and talked them out of some sort of plastic zipper type bags

and got a large bucket of ice. I spent a cold (from the ice) and

sleepless night, as did my husband. My Gamma knife was due to me

having two brain tumors, once on the right frontal lobe and the

other at the base of my skull on the left side. They had two

entirely different names and the Gamma Knife was aupposed to kill

the DNA in the tumors. I have to go in for freqent MRI's to check

them out. I was mis-diagnoses in 2001 with Parkinsons and just

recently have been rediagnosed with sone type of Mytochonfrial

Dysfunction. I am now off of all the Parkinson's meds and doing

better since I a not longer takig meds that I do not need. I hope

you are doing well and when you have time, lease let me know how you

are getting along. Until that time I will keep you in my prayers

and if it OK with you I will add you to my prayer list when I attend

my prayer group's meeting on Friday. Until that time God Bless!
