Scott Hamilton, the Olympic gold medal skater, sings the praises of Gamma Knife surgery. In 2004, after several months of fatigue, headaches and vision problems, physicians discovered Olympic skater Scott Hamilton had a craniopharyngioma, a rare, non-cancerous pituitary brain tumor. Hamilton’s tumor had both a solid and a cystic component. He will tell you how the comparison of an open craniotomy or radiosurgery with Leksell Gamma Knife® or conventional fractionated radiation therapy led him to choose the Gamma Knife surgery. He feels blessed to have been given the Gamma Knife option. It is a shame that more people don’t know about this treatment. I am trying to make more people aware of their options. There is a website that talks about radiosurgery. Leksell Gamma Knife is the ONLY stereotactic radiosurgery system specifically approved for treating brain tumors, also know as brain metastases, based on long-term scientific proof. Leading neurosurgeons worldwide choose Gamma Knife surgery for their patients. I found the comparison to other types of treatment very interesting. You might want to download the badge you see on this post and put it on your blog. We really need to raise awareness awareness of the Gamma Knife surgery so people facing treatment know all their options.
