Marie,
Don't panic. Gamma Knife Surgery is extremely effective for threating these new mets.

It done on an outpatient basis and takes about four hours from start to finish. Most of the time is spent waiting.

Look for a good Gamma Knife Surgery unit in Boston. You may also have your oncologist contact Dr. Nancy Lin of Dana Farber who has done extensive work with CNS tumors.

Warmest Regards
Joe
