Hello Lauren,
Below is what I found. "stereotactic surgery" is a general name for pinpoint
radiation therapy used to treat cancerous brain, head, or neck lesions.
"Gamma knife surgery" is one form of "stereotactic surgery". Hair loss is
going to depend on where the lesion is located. If the treatment can be done
so that the radiation beam does not pass though any hairy portion of the
head, then there would be no hair loss. The duration of side effects should
be measured from the end of the last treatment.
The previous treatment, years before, should not affect the duration.
Phaed
"Side effects vary from person to person. The type and site of
the tumor may also determine the side effects experienced.
The most common side effects are listed below:
Patients will lose their hair in the area being treated. This
normally happens two to three weeks after the commencement of
the radiotherapy. Therapists try to arrange treatment so that
hair will re-grow, but treatment will never be compromised for
the sake of keeping hair. Hair can take a long time to re-grow
following radiotherapy. A wig can be obtained for the patient
if desired. During radiotherapy the patient can continue to
wash hair normally but using a mild baby shampoo. The hair
should be gently towel dried and a hairdryer should not be used.
The skin in the treatment area may gradually redden from the
second week of treatment onwards. It may become dry, itchy and
sore especially around the ears if they are in the treatment area.
To minimise dryness and irritation aqueous lotion may be used in
the treatment area. During the summer months the area should be
protected from the sun to prevent sun damage. Any skin reaction
will soon clear up after treatment has finished.
Tiredness varies greatly from person to person. Generally it
increases throughout the radiotherapy and may last for a few
weeks after completion of your treatment.
In some patients the pituitary gland may receive a dose of
radiotherapy, this may affect the gland and its hormone production.
If it occurs, this happens a year or more after radiotherapy, and
is easily managed. If this side effect applies to you, Your therapist
will explain it fully."

Subject: Recipes from Bill Knapp's Restaurants
I was hoping you might be able to help. My family and I have
been searching for some of the recipes from Bill Knapp's
Restaurant. We used to go there almost every Sunday after church
when we were young. My favorite was their ham croquettes, although
everything was delicious. I was hoping you might have run across
the recipe for this. Any information you may have would be wonderful.
Thanks so much, Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
The first Bill Knapp's restaurant opened in Battle Creek, Michigan,
in June 1948. By 1959, it boasted $1 million in annual sales. By 1971,
the restaurant reached $1 million in sales per month.
In 1989 it was named the "No.1 Restaurant Chain in the U.S. Central
Region" by a consumers poll in Restaurants and Institutions magazine.
The chain became known for serving low-priced food and catering to
senior citizens and families. Many Bill Knapp's patrons were age 65 and up.
However, Bill Knapp's became a victim of changing times and changing food
preferences and suffered declining profits after 2000. The last Bill Knapp's
closed it's doors in August, 2002.
There are two Bill Knapp's recipes below. No ham croquettes. Sorry.
Perhaps someone with access to Bill Knapp's recipes will read this and help
us out with some other recipes, including the ham croquettes.
For all of the Bill Knapp's recipes that I have and have not been able to locate, see:
