Hi there Gill,
Sorry for the very late response. I have an update post if you have the patience for quite a lengthly read! Here is a link: My left occipital embolisation story 
Thankyou so much for your kind wishes and saying a prayer for me, absolutely warms my heart 
I really do appreciate this whole community so much and you.
Gamma knife is a great option to be fair especially with the tendancy for a fast recovery time post surgery, many pros. Any ideas as to when you will have a date for your GK?
Meeting you in London would be amazing and ofcourse I would love to meet your kiddo, I love children! I plan as soon as I am recovered close to enough to travel out I dependently to organise another London meet up, giving notice ofcourse. Would be amazing if you were available to attend and I will make sure to ensure everything is lil one friendly ofcourse 
If you use facebook, I have created a page for the meetups: https://www.facebook.com/UKAVMmeetupevents/
Or if you dont have facebook not to worry, I will be promoting events on here as always and I am planning to create a website page soon too.
Best of luck with the Gamma Knife! One step closer to recovery 
Lots of love,
Corrine
