Has anyone experienced stereotactic radiosurgery? I am wondering about the planning as well as the treatment itself. I would like to know what to expect and how successful it can be.
I'm not sure of your situation. Stereotactic radiosurgery is usually used to treatbrain tumours,or sometimes it may be used on secondary brain tumours (where the cancer has spread from the original primary site to the brain). If your situation is different, please get back to us. Our information explains how treatment is planned, and it includes links to potential side effects. Doctors will carefully plan treatment depending on the type of tumour and its size.
How successful the treatment is will depend on your situation, the type of tumour and where it is. The best person to discuss this with would be your specialist or nurse specialist (CNS) as they know your situation.
You may also find it helpful to post in theliving with cancer section, where more people may see your post and can share their experiences.
I hope the links above are helpful. please feel free to get back to us if you need any further information. You would also be welcome to give the nurses on the helpline a call. We are available between 9am and 5 pm Monday to Friday freephone 0808 800 4040.
