How far south do you want to come?  The Gamma Knife center at Rutgers is very experienced with this type of tumor.

Thank you HoundMom. Rutgers is not far at all, but it seems it has to be a surgery (not Gamma Knife ) as tumor size is too big -2.2 cm. Do you know experienced surgeon?
thanks!

I replied on your other post, but depending upon the tumor's location, 2.2cm is within the range of radiation treatment.
