5 years after bleed, after already having had a craniotomy and Gamma knife I now need more Gamma Knife. Has anyone else kept having to have treatment done?
hi there, i had 2 doses of GKR, due to complications on front/side of my brain. I guess it depends on how far away the bleed is, during the doses. I had my first one at 2003, another one at 2007. Since then, ive had 90% removed. altho theres a small amount that they cant remove.
We knew to start off that one GK treatment wouldn't be enough for my AVM. I've had GK 3 times: June 2011, December 2011, and June 2012. I'll have my 1 year follow up this coming June to see what's left & if I need any further treatment.
My AVM was unruptured. I've had a crani, but it was to clip 2 aneurysms, not for the AVM>
