I am surprised to hear you've had 4 craniotomies. I didn't know that was an option. I had a craniotomy 6 months ago for a meningioma that was almost 3 cm. and close to my optic nerve. I also have 2 other meningiomas that I need to deal with (now that I'm 6 months post surgery I'm mentally up to dealing with the other two) and I thought my only option was radiation, which scares me more than another craniotomy. Good wishes for you as you continue to navigate your health issues.

You might want to look into proton therapy radiation treatments at Mayo Rochester or elsewhere. An option apart from crainiotomy.
