[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Geez.... While I think that the "Gamma Knife thing sounds like an optional weapon in [i]Metal Gear Solid[/i], it also sounds as scary as modern science can get short of opening up your head again. Aside from [i]us[/i], do you have a support network to talk to? I ask because I know that it's hard to open up to family sometimes, as you dont want them worrying more than they already do (I lie to my mom and grandma all the time over [i]my[/i] comparitivly trivial problem). We're all here for you, but the stress you must be under is outside my own experience. Sounds to me like the [URL=http://www.irsa.org/gamma_knife.html]Gamma Knife [/URL] is a really good way to proceed. [QUOTE]Gamma Knife surgery is recognized worldwide as the preferred treatment for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations and brain dysfunctions such as trigeminal neuralgia. It is supported by over 2,500 peer reviewed research articles that are primarily published in neurosurgery journals. The Gamma Knife offers a non-invasive alternative for many patients for whom traditional brain surgery is not an option. Gamma Knife surgery removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks associated with conventional surgery. This effective single session treatment may require an overnight hospital stay, but is often done in an outpatient surgical setting with periodic follow-up. It has been proven safe over the long term and is recognized and covered by insurance plans. The same as neurosurgery, the Gamma Knife allows noninvasive cerebral surgery to be performed in one session and with extreme precision, sparing tissues adjacent to the target.[/QUOTE]I wonder why they did not use this the first time around? So, it seems that this is a smaller tumor than before? Possibly they're destroying one before it becomes a life-threatening thing? Man, I sure as hell [i]hope[/i] so: no [i]way[/i] can I dig up all that political stuff on my own! ;) While you're there, strapped in, go for as many [i]Total Recall[/i] and other tough-guy-being-tortured lines as possible. Oh! Do the sean Connery voice and say "Do you expect me to talk?" Man, I wish I live close to your hospital, I'd wait untill you wre strapped in and drugged, then come by with my little cousin in Grey alien costume and some sci-fi props and give you some [i]real[/i] nightmares. But that's just [i]me[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
