Aysha - 7/01/09

We received a call from the nuerosurgeon today. Dr. Alden talked to his colleagues. He mentioned there is another possibility now, open surgery to totally remove the AVM is an option now. He stated the gamma knife(radio surgery) is effective maybe up to 80% after a 3 year period, after that another session may be needed. But of course, chances of re-bleeding are still there in the meantime, as it is now. So, MRI/angiogram/ct scans are being scheduled for the next few weeks. And choices to make thereafter on the path to take.
