Update - Gamma Knife

Gamma Knife Success.

Harold’s neurosurgeon was able to remove all the remaining tumors in Harold’s head. That included two additional lesions that were found during the high resolution scan prior to the procedure. Harold did great. The actual Gamma Knife part of the procedure lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes. We knew it was done when we heard Harold laughing and talking with the surgeon and radiology specialist.

Harold will have follow up brain scans every six weeks to check for the appearance of tumors that may be too small to detect at this time. They can also be treated with gamma knife.

It is absolutely amazing that this kind of treatment is possible. No blood, no stitches, and ten tumors gone – all while Harold was awake listening to an audio book.
