Hello. I'm so sorry you and your husband are having this difficult time. I had a petroclival meningioma removed by surgeons at Duke a few years ago which is growing back into my cavernous sinus. I'm writing just to send good wishes to your husband and to let you know you are not alone! I'm intrigued that you found a JH surgeon willing to operate, but the Duke folks won't touch it. I know Dr. Friedman at Duke does have very good judgment. As you said, we ultimately have to trust it is in God's hands. Take care!
