Is It Normal To Get Cyber Knife Radiation For Meningioma In The Brain?

I received cyber knife radiation for 5 days for a meningioma in the brain. In the area where I lost my hair, I also have indentations varying from 2 long x 1/2 wide x 1/8 deep, some are 3 long and different widths. Is this normal following this form of radiation?

Hello,

Issues you report are possible local adverse effects of cyberknife surgery. These adverse effects are considered mild and should improve with time, so, I don't see anything serious for now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
