Today I read about a type of treatment called “gamma knife”. It refers to a kind of treatment available here in the USA and maybe not so restricted. On the other hand it seems to be less routinely available than that. That is why I need to contact OHSU now, today, to see what and when it is available.

The “gamma knife” surgery system seems to be a very, very precise surgical treatment using radiation to cut out the tumor and to leave nothing in its place. It appears to be so precise that it can cut out tumors without harming nearby good cells. This does indeed appear to be a kind of surgery that I might both qualify for and that  might be affordable to me.

There is another kind of treatment, alternative to the above, that is based in Houston, TX. It is available at the Burzynski Clinic there and would appear to be very very acceptable also. It does not rely on surgery to remove the unwanted tumor, but relies on "neoplastid" replacement technology. The technology is best described at the following website: http://www.burzynskiclinic.com/what-are-antineoplastons.html

Both of these kinds of treatment seem viable and NOT in competition with each other. Perhaps they can and should be done in combination with each other. These are the kinds of questions that I need to have answered as best as I can.
Not a lot of news today except for following up on the above two therapies. I will try to do some of this today.
