Tuesday night I went to hear Dr. Tator speak about treatment for acoustic neuroma with gamma knife. He has had a distinguished career as a surgeon and has performed many successful AN excisions, although he has embraced the GK concept as a better alternative. (Toronto now has a GK machine and will commence treatment starting in July.) I consider myself lucky I didn’t have to agonize over this decision, (my AN was too large and had a cystic component) but given the choice, would probably lean toward surgery. There would be less post-op anxiety associated with excision, and I would rather they go in and physically remove the tumour.

There could’ve been some sort of coffee shop gathering organized after the meeting; there was a lot of awkward and stilted conversation begging to be brought forward. Hopefully next time.

I set up my drums in the sun room yesterday and played for an hour and although it felt great - I'm out of practice. Good thing this only gets better.

Tess and I are going to San Francisco for a week in June.
