You should look into gamma knife surgery first, as it is non-invasive.I went through four months of traveling, seeing four different doctors, had a nuro-psych evaluation, then at the last moment, rolling down the hall to go through with the proceedure, my wonderfull insurance co. called
this hole deal experimental. Not only did I not recieve the surgery, non of the previous visits
were covered. Now I have a $4,000.00 tab for the evaluation process, no surgery, and just as many clusters as ever. Be sure your insurance co. will cover this proceedure up front if you can. One hint, Prudential wont. Good Luck, by the way
My surgeon Paul Francell was very confident there would be no side effects, for what is's worth.
