I saw him on the Today Show. It was interesting. He doesn't have Cushings. He said his tumor is a craniopharyngioma. He chose the gamma knife treatment because surgery was not an option. He said with surgery, he "would not come out as the same person." Because the tumor is attached to his optic nerve and causing vision problems, it sounded like surgery could cause him to lose his vision completely or possibly have other severe problems. He said the good news is that the gamma radiation had turned the tumor from solid to liquid, so they will be able to go in and remove the fluid in a procedure similar to the biopsy he had. Jeannine
