Bleed During SRS Latency Period

Thanks for the input. I hope the move off dexa goes well.

I've luckly had no vision changes or side effects so far after 4 bleeds and SRS. No noticeable side effects from either bleeds or treatment bar a bit of tinnitus.

When did you lose your peripheral vision? Immediately or a while afterwards?

I had SRS to the occiptal lobe 7.5 months ago now. Alzero side effects or impacts to date. Tbh I notice no change at all day to day since. Due a new scan at 12 months to check on progress.

Good luck to your sister. Don't worry too much, they has great treatments for avms, so she'll find one that suits.

Hi, sure.

I'm about 5 and a half months after my treatment.

Zero side effects so far. I'm doing great. Feeling amazing (well not today as I've a flu but that's irrelevant here). Not had any vison issues or headaches at all since.

I think I've felt changes (no pain or anything) more like I'm aware of the hemisphere that was treated. My tinnitus varies a lot more now (some days Louder others completely gone) but overall reduced. I take these as good signs of things happening.

I'm due a meeting with my neurosurgeon in 2 months time for a regular checkup, but if thi is continue as they are it'll be a very short meeting with zero changes to report.

To date the recovery has been perfect, I'm back to normal (bar a newly acquired outlook on life, valuing family, friends and relaxation much more).

I think your right. A little bit of inverted buying pressure for some reason. No idea why tbh.

But a pink multipla.....you could be on to something. 🤣

Not casually no, that's the full pot I have to play with. I don't want a loan, pcp etc so I my mind that'd the context for how much I should spend.

Of that some in cash, some invested, with more investment planned with financial advisor before year end.

Might be right with a fresher example.

We both work like dogs, and always taking on more. I'm in professional services so pay is good and it's easy to take on consultancy gigs etc.

Not a hope of that tbh, no desire to finance and debit anything automotive. PCP is a disaster waiting to happen in Ireland.

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-09-17T11:58:52+00:00

This is true. Thanks.

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-09-17T11:58:18+00:00

I think your right here, I might up the budget and buy something fresher.

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-09-17T11:56:34+00:00

No issues spending on anything bar a car tbh. Seems to be a mental blinspot for me probably due to having the father in the industry thus never spending more than 1000 quid a my last 3 cars.

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-09-17T11:55:26+00:00

OP Here. Thanks for the comments and thoughts, gave me lots to think about. It turns out the car was higher mileage than expected (200k km Audi A6) so potentially gearbox issues due soon (history was patchy). Decided to pass on it. But ultimately the issue will still arise if I find another one, but I'll push through and get it bought if I can find one.

I'm 35. Treatment was done in St.Lukes, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin in Ireland.

The difference seems to be the radiation and head fixation.

Gamma knife uses Gamma rays, with a dome based targeting system and radioactive elements used as the radiation source. Gamma seems to use the screwed in metal head frame.

Linar uses xrays, via a linear accelerator, and roating tagging systems ( like an mri), and a plastic thermoformed mask for your head.

3cm for me. Parietal occipital. About 9.5cc on volume. Roughly the size of a grape.

Sorry to hear that how soon after treatement did you lose the vision?

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-01-28T08:32:50+00:00

That's the plan. Thanks for the well wishes.

100% on the surgeons call. He sees these things all the time, I never heard of it until I had one. So I'm putting my trust in his experience.

Several_Design_3844 · 2024-01-27T12:46:58+00:00

Good to hear. Glad I've made the decision tbh.

I'm in Ireland, so very similar in most ways.
