Thank you for the video that was very helpful for me as I'm having gamma knife surgery on Monday for a VS. it really gave me the information I needed to be informed and at peace about this decision, thank you!

What happened with you ever since?

[@captainamerica3447]

@@Kisuke686 I felt really bad before the gamma knife, I feel much better these days. I changed my living location and I try to stay away from mold which is really bad for me. I have less sugar now and have eliminated chocolate. I exercise more. pickleball and bike riding. II need to have another MRI done soon to see if the tumor has stopped growing. I have made a lot of improvement; less dizzy now, balance has improved. I still have ear ringing but seems to be a little less. knowing what I know now I think I made a good decision to have the gamma knife. And I thank God for my healing.

I had successfull gamma knife in November 1997. I still have the tinnitus but good otherwise.

do you have any hearing left?

I underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery one year ago to treat a vestibular schwannoma and would like to know whether drugs like tadalafil might contribuye to tumor regrowth or if It is totally safe to take them As drugs such as Cialis improve the blood supply to especific body parts, I read that they may be angiogenic, contributing to the creation of new blood vessels. I have not taken Cialis ever since I was irradiated because I am afraid it might cause the treatment to fail.

Misinformation

[@bm4114]

I say that your cell phones assertion is misinformation because this very talk shows research that indicates cell phone usage does not cause these tumors. We’ve got enough problems with conspiracy theories etc in this world please don’t add to that hysteria.
