I'm bumping this old topic to see if anyone knows of a site with information about Gamma Knife surgery? I'd like to find out more about this, and ask my Neuro if I'm a possible candidate for it. After all these years, and as many different meds I've tried, I'm ready to go under the knife or laser. Thx.

Gamma Knife for Epilepsy There is a member of the Epilepsy Foundations' forums (jeff1958) who has had the Gamma Knife operation done. He is the only one I know of (in any E forum) that has had it. You can PM him for his personal experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out my chart of alternative epilepsy treatments.
