Hi Cinny -
I've got a non-secreting pt also. The Gamma Knife and Radio Surgery are high 
powered very localized procedures usually for nasty brain tumors which pit 
tumors are not categorized as. Your best pit surgery option is probably 
endonasal/transspednoidal meaning up the nose through the sinuses.  I was 
literally in and out of the hospital in 36 hrs with near zero complications 
from the surgery.  Radiation, if needed after, would generally be a 3DConformal 
if there were areas your surgeon could not get to to de-bulk the tumor.

ps Doc is right that meds are for secreting tumors, not the non-secreting type.
