I've got renal cancer in a number of sites and one small met in the brain. I was lucky enough to have gamma knife in November 2019.
An MRI scan a few weeks ago revealed that nothing has changed. I was under the impression it would be "ablated"?
I'm taking Kepra and have had no proper seizures but a couple of partial ones in the past few months, just get very sweaty and slightly confused but able to get home OK (was on a walk on both occasions).
Is it possible they missed the tumour? I'd be interested to hear if this is possible as I've looked at some other experiences here where they have zapped several in one go.
Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
