Radiation (External radiation ): My doctor and I have decided for another round of Gamma Knife to treat the two spots on the brain. After watching them for several months and no new spots had shown, but the existing spots are continuing to grow. Went to MD Anderson in TX for a second opinion and to see if they suggested any other treatments. They said the would do exactly what my doctors are doing at Wake Forest.
