His story was intriguing since he experienced no problems during or after treatment and his tumor growth was arrested. My FSR treatment I sent my MRI and hearing test to Dr. Lederman at SIUH in late August and received treatment in late October. I've had no problems during and since treatment. I was experiencing bad headaches before treatment and, sometime during the treatment week, the headaches left and have not returned. Then the mold is fitted to the halo and each time you put it on for radiation, it's in the same relative position on your head.
Next step is a cat-scan.
Late that same day, I put the halo back on and received my first FSR treatment. Takes about 15 minutes of which most of the time is fitting and recalibrating the halo. You feel nothing and walk out feeling like doing anything you wish. No pain, no fuss, no problem. Note - I've recently heard that Dr. Lederman now believes that the lower dosage every third day for a total of five treatments improves hearing preservation rates.
