I did one of those look good feel better things and there was a lady there who had quite a few gamma knife treatments so it would seem so, in her case any way. 

Thanks ,very Re assuring.someone told me it could only be used once.

Does anyone know if they can still do mri scans after brain surgury ? theyve used titanium screws...don't fancy ct scan as even more radiation...suppose it won't matter though as too late now..

Still trying to wriggle out of any injections..does anyone know if a local anaestic cream could be an alternative when having the face frame fitted for gamma knife ?

Hi Midnightfish, 

I hope you don't mind me stopping by but I noticed your question and wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number as they may be in the best position to answer this. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open between 9a.m - 5p.m, Monday - Friday so do give them a call if you want to chat to them about this.

Kind regards,

Thanks, will try it

Hi Midnightfish,

Congratulations on getting your first brain tumour removed. 

If you Google Stereotactic Radiosurgery or SRS you will get more relevant hits than using gamma knife. My limited understanding (my wife had SRS following a sub-arachnoid haemmorhage and a friend had it to treat brain mets) is that multiple use is almost routine. iopscience.iop.org/.../pdf

Good luck :-)
