some tumours are too large for gamma knife. I know of someone who had that and then it had apparently increased unknowingly while she waited for an appointment. She then had it removed surgically but all cases are different. I believe factually they are not suppdsed to be influenced by hormones in pregnancy, but not sure if it has ever happened. Good luck with getting it sorted, Are yoiu at a specialist hospital?

I'm waiting for the surgeon appointment at Derriford.

What was the mass size of the person u know?

I have heard that after gamma knief the case becomes more complicated.

Not what you're looking for?
