Cavernous Tumor or Lesion

by DanielC248, Jul 28, 2008 01:13PM

Tags: tumors, lesions, cavernous, radiation

So, I was diagnosed with a cavernous lesion in my thalamus, and the doctor recommended radiation therapy since it was unlikely they could operate on my thalamus. Have others experienced such advice?

This discussion is related to cavernous hemangioam vs brain tumor.
