Chips,

Haven't heard about this yet, if you are looking for radiation treatment then perhaps you would consider interviewing with Dr. Friedman at Shands in Gainesville at UF.  I cannot say much about Jackson in Miami, but there is Tampa General (who runs the radiation department is unknown to me). 

I had surgery with Dr. Antonelli at Shands after looking into both treatment forms and speaking to multiple surgeons.  I did have physio therapy for vestibular retraining at Broward Hospital and highly recommend it. 
1/05 Retrosigmoid 1.5cm AN left ear, SSD
2/08 Labyrinthectomy left ear 
Dr. Patrick Antonelli Shands at University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
12/09 diagnosis of semicircular canal dehiscence right ear

Hi Chips,

Keep an eye on the CK website as well (www.cyberknife.com) for updates on the location as well.  All the CK docs just had their big pow-wow and I know there were updates on newer CK sites (ie: C. London, UK, etc). They may also know.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good.
