(Kelcor1025) Hi there. Yes, I had a craniotomy last October. I have posted before that a local neurologist and a radiation oncologist (who manages cyberknife in Silicon Valley) both told me that given the location of my meningioma (1/16th of an inch from my optic nerve) no surgeon would feel comfortable removing it and I should have radiation. My daughter insisted I get yet another opinion at UCSF with Dr. Philip Theodosopoulos. I actually told him that two other neurologists had told me that no surgeon would feel comfortable operating and his response was, basically, no worries, "I do one or two a week." I will add that I had a mastectomy 5 years ago and, in a lot of respects, the craniotomy was an easier surgery.
