Hi Dizzy,

Your AN is not an uncommon size for GK treatment.  You'll be fine.  My AN was 1.8cm when diagnosed and 2.4cm when treated and I'm doing great. 

Best of luck.
Cathie.
Diagnosed: June 2012, right side AN 1.8cm
June 2013: AN has grown to 2.4 cm.
Gamma Knife: Sept. 11, 2013 Toronto Western Hospital

Since I first posted that to now I have read A LOT more here on this forum (I feel like I know some of you guys after reading some of your stories going back as far as 2005 for some of them!) and I found a lot more people with larger than a cm ANs, so I am less anxious than I was. Thank you SO much for the reassurance and encouragement.
