@colleenyoung I am 1 week post surgery. The surgeons were unable to remove most of my clival chordoma tumors. This is less than the optimal outcome I was expecting. This time they want to followup with proton beam radiation, but the closest clinic is 3 hours away, in Chicago, and I cannot afford that long of a stay. I know it's only been a week, but I have had 3 sleepless nights because of the pain.
