I am from a family that seem to grow cysts and tumors...My cousins and uncles have all been in their head and even within the brain and sucessfully been surgically removed by neurosurgens. The new cyber knife is the way to go...One uncle has one removed the "old way" then two more moved with the old gamma knife. I however have the ones inside the spinal cord, and they say "NO" , so make sure you find a good neurosurgen, I had 4 (four) opinions, better safe than sorry...I'm sure with the right doctor you will be fine...Silver
