This is something that I first came across when Charlie recommended me to Andy. Naturally, the first thing I did when I was given Andy's name was to Google him and I found out that he was a specialist with the Gamma Knife. I was a little worried and so, naturally, I Googled further. What an incredible invention! Google it yourself! Okay, I was a little worried about how it was fitted and so on, but it sounded fantastic.
Unfortunately, for my kind of tumour, it wasn't suitable. As I've mentioned previously, my tumour isn't a lump, it's a distributed set of cells, like a glop of frogspawn. So I don't get the Gamma Ray treatment.
But you can meet my radiotherapist (Nick), and he can explain all about the gamma knife treatment himself: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7791315.stm
He's a nice guy - with a very dry sense of humour!
