Did you go to see the neurosurgeon alone or did you bring along a good friend? I was lucky because I went in with my wife. I was able to spend the time concentrating on keeping control of myself and let her ask all the questions.

On the forum tab on the top, there is one for explanation of options. It's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w0GYoPy0A0
They explain some options.

I had a crainotomy and then gamma knife surgery. Depending on the location of the AVM, there are different methods that would be chosen.

Another idea is to talk to your doctor, if you have one that you can talk easy with.

By the way, these are all things my wife told me to do.

Hi, Gemma, don't worry, you'll pick it up. For now, if you click on the chat tab at the top, you can start chatting. If no one responds, it just means they're online but on a different page. Go to forum tab to ask the community a question.
