I don't have personal experience of Gamma Knife but I've seen details of the process and proof of its success here on the forum. Have you tried downloading information from the Headway site on GK and its after effects ? Alternatively you could ask for printouts by phoning the helpline on 0808 800 2244 (free calls - office hours).

I do know that, in terms of recovery, these are very early days, but I hope there'll be better days ahead for you Kit. Best wishes, Cat x

I had Gamma Knife, which caused no noticeable effects. Mine was to treat a AVM, which means in the targeted area the neurons had already been lost.
