Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for meningioma, right trigeminal nerve

Posted by Elaine R. @mrser52, Dec 20, 2017

I have my first SRS treatment tomorrow and I am so scared.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain Tumor Support Group.

No I didn't, I had a lot of pins and needles and pain on the right side of my face from my brain tumor location. My doctor told me that I could have head aches from the SRS treatments, because it would cause swelling.

I understand - I'm glad that you are not having the headaches. Are you still bothered by the pins and needles pain?

Yes, but they have really decreased. I keep praying to God.

@mrser52 I am sorry to hear that - especially since you had been tolerating the treatments so well. Have you contacted your doctor to see if this is an expected reaction to the treatment on the 28th?

I hope that all will get back to normal soon. Keep us posted as to how you are feeling.

Hi, @mrser52 -- just wanted to touch base and see how the feeling ill and kind of depressed since your last treatment are going today?

Also, I thought you might like to meet a couple members in the Connect community who have experience with loved ones with brain tumors. Please meet @IndianaScott and @dawn_giacabazi.

I believe you are all done with your treatments at this point? If so, what is the next step for you?
