I too have a tumor invading my straight sinus. In 2002 I had a crainotomy to excise a tumor. At that point they surgeon could not get a fraction of the tumor that was pressing on the straight sinus. I was told the tumor was slow growing and would not come back. In 2019 I started to get very bad headaches with a sensation my eye was pulling to the right. At the end of 2000 I began seeing the team at Mayo. The current status of the tumor is inoperable because its placement is too dangerous for radiographic or surgical treatment. The pressure on the vein causes issues with the flow of my CSF, which in turn gives me headaches. Loud noises, lots of stimulation, and bright lights bother me.
Work with the team at Mayo to find the best fit of doctors for your needs. If I can be of any further help I would be happy to share my experiences with you and/or others.

Hello, that is probably why I am so worry that the doctors could not do anything about it, but I have to see what my MRI results are and go from there. Is there any key questions I should ask? The sunlight and high pitch noises is been bothering me recently, which is very new for me, I am trying to keep a record of every symptom and trigger as I can remember and meds that I am taking just in case. It is so hard for me to understand the reason why I have a Meningioma, and hope and pray I will be able to be more at peace once I start to understand and educate myself about it.
Thank you
