Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all of the advice and answers to my questions that so many of you had given me. I decided to have the surgery ( craniotomy) although I was asymptomatic . I am AVM free now! Surgery was successful…recovery in first 4 days was hard but I am totally on the mend…I am 17 days post surgery …off pain meds, no deficits that I can see so far…and hair growing back…I just wanted to post the good results as I know first hand how hard it is to look at the not so positive results.
Thanks so much for the advice and support!
Tina

Hi Tina
congratulations on your success. where was your AVM? I am contemplating surgery now after already having gamma knife last May. I would love to know how your process was.
Thank you for sharing. Alexandra
Congratulations Tina. Hope everything works out well on your recovery.
Hi there -
I had an AVM removed from my brain in 2007. I considered the gamma knife but then found out that they wouldn't know for 3 years if they got it or not and I would have to undergo MRIs or angiograms for 3 years. And in the end the results and potential damage is just as bad. Please research it very carefully and find the right, experienced and compassionate neurosurgeon you can. Reiko
Congratulations! Best wishes on your continued healing!
Thanks Heidi!
Great news, Tina!
