What causes brain cysts?
• I have been diagnosed with a Chordoma brain tumor located somewhere behind my cheekbone below my right eye. The neurologist I was sent to misdiagnosed the tumor from the MRI and thought it to be a tumor that he could remove most of and then follow up with the gamma knife. However, when he saw that it was not what he thought, he cut away what he could to have it biopsied. Several weeks later, he told me that he could not perform the surgery I needed to totally remove it, nor would the gamma knife work due to two main arteries which lie very close to the tumor. He has told me about the next surgery and what damage it will do and I am horrified. I have already lost some vision in my right eye and the entire side of my right face is completely numb as are parts of my mouth. I have seen several sites with much less invasive surgery for this type of tumor, but I am not a doctor. I need advice. • I had Gamma Knife performed 19 months ago and surgery 12 months ago. For a couple of weeks now
