Thanks for posting this. My thoughts and prayers are there for Scott to make a full recovery. He has been through so many serious health issues - may he bounce back from this one, too! All the best to you, Scott!

That laser-knife surgical technique is actually pretty cool. By bombarding your head with gamma rays from many different angles at the same time, you can arrange to have a huge concentration of radiation at the site of the tumor without affecting the surrounding tissue very much.

Any prcedure involving the brain carries risk, but this treatment is very promising, I think.

Get better soon, Scott! We miss you!



the mini-tribute on Ice Wars last night made me cry... but I want to know what Kurt wanted to say but couldn't

Some of the surgeries my little sis had were gamma ray. They worked well but she was too far gone by then after the lung cancer and 13 brain tumors.
