I have a 3.5 cm meningioma with mass effect on my brainstem and sits 1mm from my optic nerve. This was discovered as a result of trigeminal nerve pain in my jaw. I underwent 6 weeks of IMRT 5 years ago. My question is what if any long term effects from IMRT are there--and what if anything can be done to avoid them?

Hi @irishel,
Here are some resources about brain radiation side effects
- Oncolink http://bit.ly/2lMl78j
- Cancer Research UK http://bit.ly/2lg01lG

What long term side effects, if any, have you noticed?
