stereotactic radiosurgery - has anyone had this? What can I expect?

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 will be having this treatment alongside Nivolumab for brain melanoma metastases

  • Hello meler

    I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for stereotactic radiosurgery alongside Nivolumab for melanoma brain metastases. It's understandable that you have some questions. 

    I can see that you've also posted in our Ask the Nurses and that they've already shared some information links with you. 

    We have quite a few posts where different members have shared their experience of this treatment. You can read through some of those by searching for the term "stereotactic" using the forum search function at the top of the page. 

    I hope that you're able to connect with others who have experience of this treatment soon. 

    Best wishes,
