Gamma Knife Radiotherapy

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was diagnosed with 5 meningiomas in November and have so far had 2 surgeries during which I have had 3 removed / debulked. I am now facing Gamma Knife radiotherapy for multiple bits of tumours. Could anyone tell me if the frame remains attached throughout the period of multiple treatments or will it be removed after every treatment and then reattached? 

Thank you

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    We have some information about radiosurgery for brain tumours here.

    It does say that the frame is moved after treatment.

    If you would like to talk further to our nurses about what to expect, do call the team on freephone: 0808 800 4040 from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. They will be happy to talk to you.

    Please come back and let us know how you are getting on with your treatment,

    Best wishes

    Jane
