Yes, I had a good consult with both the rad onc and neurosurg prior to even agreeing to have gamma and they each spent a long time with me. Unlike you, I didn't even want to think about that darned old headframe, let alone look at it beforehand! Now, of course, I see that I should have been more proactive regarding an effective sedative, but once the headframe was on I was OK. The neuro guy just had to deal with me and he probably wished I was unconscious! My problems stemmed from the MRI repeat and the length of time I was in the headframe, although now I don't know if I was ultra sensitive and might have headache problems anyway. Only headache I've ever had previously is sinus related, so who knows. I'm just thankful it was a successful procedure and will try not to think about that day. I'm so glad your procedure went well also. Aren't we both fortunate to have caught those mets early, to which I credit this website!
Love, Jackie
