Gamma Knife Center http://uvahealth.com/services/gammak...
Donna came to UVA seeking a second opinion for her brain tumor after being told brain surgery wasn't an option. The Gamma Knife Center was able to offer her a minimally invasive procedure that could be done in under an hour.

Donna thought she was having a stroke and when she went to the doctor she was told she had a mass on her brain.

Upon hearing of her brain tumor, her first thought was that her grandchildren wouldn't remember her.

She was told it was inoperable, that no surgeon would take her on and she had no treatment options.

Donna came to UVA seeking a second opinion and a source of hope.

UVA doctors were able to offer her a minimally invasive procedure that could be done in under an hour.

UVA's gamma knife center is one of only a few in the country and came highly recommended.
