-----Original Message-----From: Stacie cope [mailto:valtime@...]Sent: Thursday, December 10, 1998 12:45 AMcures for canceregroupsSubject: Gamma KnifeMy daughter is home doing very well after the gamma Knife procidure. No

it is not a knife but a type of radiation. Check out web page cduma.com

for more info about it. her tumor was inoperable on the brain stem and

they expect this to be her answer. It was only one day. A very intense

day. I suggest you don't wait for a family member alone. She will now

do a MRI every 6 weeks to check for growth of cells that may have been

to immature for detection and had already spread. Savannah is now on Essiac tea also. We figure what ever the gamma

didn't get maybe something a little healthier can.

Thanks again for all the help. Hope this is helpful to someone else.

Lamar,

I am not considering the gamma knife, I just ran accross this article and

thought someone may be interested in learning about it.

Trust me, I will weigh out all options before I consider any kind of surgical

method, invasive or non-invasive.

Thanks,

Tracey

PS How is your niece doing?

Lamar,

You have a niece in medical school that you introduced me to, I spoke to

several times to get advice.

Tracey,

Well, I just wanted you to know that I did in fact consider the gamma

knife would put an end to my seizures. However, after having done an

MRI I was informed the gamma knife was inappropriate for me. I was in

fact ineligible for its use. Even if it had done what I wanted, the

results would not have left me better off. That was just the way it was

with my particular situation. Someone elses situation could be totally

different. The point I wanted to make was that I could have saved

myself the cost of an MRI if I had not been so pig-headed about the

gamma knife solving my problem. What am I sayiing? Two things: 1)

Don't be pig-headed when it comes to your health; 2) Ask a lot of

questions of qualified professionals before you take action. I should

have devoted more time to asking questions about my seizure disorder and

the cyst relationship. If I had I would have learned that removing the

cyst would not make my seizures go away.

I have several neices. So far as I know, none of them have epilepsy.

So far as I know, all of them are doing fine. Are you sure you got the

right person's neice here?

Tracey,

You are absolutely correct. I have not heard from that particular neice

since she got married back in June. Correction, I did get a few e-mail

messages. Anyway, I was not able to attend the wedding, but did send a

wedding gift. So, to answer your question, I really do not have a clue

how that young woman is doing. I do not even know if she liked the

wedding gift I sent her.
