I had stereotactic radiosurgery for a benign brain tumor but I didn't have any of these types that were shone. I had to have the mask made which held my head in place. The machine moved around me after it was programmed by the doctor and the physicist. So I'm not sure what the type of radiation was called or what kind of machine it was. But the machine was able to do a cat-scan first and then to do the radiation. Whatever part was giving the radiation moved around me and it delivered it in two different times and that took about a total of 5 minutes and that was the only treatment I received. I think it may have been called a photon beam but I'm not sure. It's only been about a week and I'm still having really bad side effects. I haven't even been able to return back to work and I see the oncologist in another week for check-up. And to find out if I'm healing properly. I haven't felt well since the first day. I wasn't even able to take the steroid drugs that were offered to me because I had a bad side effect from those so I had to stop.
problem with all these explanations is that a patient can't find a good review of how bad likely are horrific side effects... or how unlikely. All ya see is people on Facebook telling how terrible the treatment ended up
That's why it's always best to talk to a radiation oncologist who is aware of your history and will know what is the best treatment for you. Just looking up information randomly on RUclips or Google isn't very helpful and I found that out the hard way. You'll just find a lot of general information that may or may not be the information that you need to find. You need to get more personal information by speaking to your doctor. That's the only way to get the right information.
Thank you, I had gamma knife surgery the day before yesterday and couldn't wrap my head around how it works. 🎉 Thank you
