Thank you. I was diagnosed with a trigeminal schwannoma and had Gamma knife stereotactic radiation July '08 at Mayo MN. Good news - No new growth! But significant impact on my life. I wish this book had been available back in '08 when we were definitely overwhelmed with information. I try to keep up with any new articles on NIH and watch the Brain Tumor orgs websites for info like this new book.
