Was the surgery difficult? Sorry to hear they couldn’t get it all. Hopefully they got most of it.

They went through my nose and sinuses, which I thought was a better approach than and open craniotomy. I still have sinus issues but hopefully that will go away. My left eye has a blurry spot due to the tumor was pressing on the optic nerve and wrapping partially around it. He said he got it removed from the nerve completely. The spot is very far in my peripheral vision so that’s good. They took a graft from the IT Band on my left leg which was a lot larger than I expected, about a 6 cm incision, which has a combination of numbness and soreness. The first month was fairly rough with double vision but that is completely gone now. They are hopeful all these symptoms will eventually go away. I will need radiation therapy for the remaining tumor at some point
