Hi Alan! Yes! This was definately AVM 101 for new members to this site and the illness. My daughter has been fighting her AVM since 2002. I'm always excited when I find news articles and videos on something that seems to be so foreign to so many other people.

Take care,

Kim

I could not have embolization prior to gamma knife due to the area of my AVM.. I was told that by a dr. at Barrows as well as Dr. Lunsford so I can only pray that it was not necessary for closure to AVM and will not cause a bleed. I believe everyone is different it seems. I have to assume these dr. know what they are doing but even more I will trust that God will intervene where needed and I have faith that I will be fine.

Since my husbands AVM and surgery I have done nothing but pray. Keep Praying and God will answer your prayers. Just ask and He will help you .

God Bless.
