Hi,
Have had mine at base of my skull.
Although benign it grew a bit.
I am starting stereotactic surgery (radiation cyber knife)next week.
Am very anxious..
Anyone have this kind of radiation?

Yes I had stereotactic radiation“one and done” 3 years ago. Had terrible migraines and vertigo like symptoms that they couldn’t get a grip on afterwards. Finally have me on Topiramate 100mg twice a day which alleviates the dizziness and mostly stops the migraines. MRI says the meningioma grew larger yet went to a new neurosurgeon who disputed that finding and went back to the “wait and see” idea. Now I’m waiting a year again for next MRI.
No surgery for now.
