A member asked:
Should a healthy 35 y/o male with a 1.9cm acoustic neuroma be given radiation (gamma knife) as a long term treatment option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gamma knife: Is ONE option but please get a second opinion. Some docs may suggest monitoring it to see about growth or lack thereof. Please do what doctors say after you've seen several. Peace and good health.
