Outpatient brain surgery. Yes, really.

Sponsored post alert!

Every now and then I come across an opportunity to write a sponsored post for a product or information site that carries personal meaning for me. This is one of those opportunities. As many of you who've been longtime readers of this blog know, I married a cancer survivor. Even though my husband had bone cancer that started in his leg, eventually it spread to his brain, and the treatments he underwent were invasive, traumatic, and they took a huge toll on his body. They worked--he's been in remission for over ten years, and was actually cancer-free when I met him--but even after all this time we're still dealing with aftereffects. That's why I'm happy to point you to this site about a relatively unknown brain tumor treatment that is both non-invasive and limits the amount of radiation exposure on the body. The Gamma Knife is a form of radiosurgery that targets intense radiation right at the tumor, without exposing the rest of the body, and can remove brain tumors without any cutting or drilling. This method didn't exist when my husband could have used it, but if you or someone you know is facing treatment for a brain tumor, I would urge you to gather as much information as you can on this form of treatment and discuss it with your doctors.
