After sizeable meningioma discovered, craniotomy was performed September 2014. Pathology report came back as a Grade 2 (atypical). Since the tumor was located on the right side of my saggital sinus, it affected the left side of my body (happy to say that I'm probably 97% back to normal today) Unfortunately, MRI, January 2017, detected tumor growing back. Nueurosurgeon did not want to operate again. Recommended cyberknife treatment/surgery. Had treatment 22-25 May. Since then, I lost hair, only in the area of the treatment, but I had another seizure . Energy level is very low, bad mood changes due to seizure medication, I believe. Still haven't recouped 100% usage of my left foot since the operation in 2014, but for the most part, I do very well. Has anyone experienced what I did? I'm still determined to "beat" this, but just curious whether this treatment improved anyone's same condition and what symptoms did/have you experienced?
