Any Optic Nerve Meningioma Patients Who've Had Surgery?

I have an optic nerve Meningioma and I’ve had two options for treatment. One surgery cut my skull peel the skin remove most of the tumor. Other option was 6 weeks radiation five days a week. The surgeon says no radiation would damage nerves. The oncologist says no surgery too invasive. I’m so confused is there an endonasal endoscopic surgery and where to get that.

@tammywyatt, I can see why you would be confused when one specialist negates the recommendation of the other. Have you considered getting a second or rather third opinion?
Let me know if Mayo Clinic might be an option for you and I'll post the contact information.
