Thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread.  It's pretty cool to see the responses.  I noticed that some of you have information about your tumor, hospital, etc in the lower left corner.  How do I do that?

Hi,

This is my first time on this sight.  I had surgery and gamma knife radiation in 2003/2004 for a 3.5cm tumor.  My best advise is to do a ton of research, get two or three opinions and take a look at the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch.  (I noticed you live in Chicago)  Dr. Gail Rosseau was my surgeon there.  I cannot say enough about this hospital and doc.  They have a website, check it out PLEASE!  Best wishes.   :)
