gamma knife
 

hello... I'm seriously considering having gamma knike radiation treatment. Can anyone please tell me their experiences with this? thanks, karen

BTT....anyone?

I'm awaiting authorization from my insurance company,

Fowki,

So if they approve you, you're going through with it. Who is the doctor and where are you having it done?

Also, what does "BTT" mean?

BTT = Bump To Top

Yes, I am going to do it. The Doc is Kenneth Ott here in San Diego.

Mine will be slightly different as I will be done under general anesthesia due to my Parkinson's.

Fowki,
I hope you'll post about your experience. I've only found a couple of posts through searches where people have described their experience with this procedure. I also hope you'll get a favorable outcome and some relief from the pain.:hug:

Good luck Fowki !!!!

Keep us posted please !!! I have an aunt who is considering this procedure, so, I will be glad if you tell us about your experience.

:hug:

ABSOLUTELY!:grouphug:

I'm anxious to hear how it goes for you, too....which I hope is great. This seems to be the most "attractive" procedure to me out of all of them.

Okay, I'm approved! Friday I meet with the Radiation Oncologist, and then we schedule the procedure......

Oh my Gosh Fowki !!!! How exciting !!!!!!

Good luck !!! All the best !!!

Keep us posted please !!!
