@amomand3girls hello and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for joining the conversation and sharing your experience with @pranas and the other members. It sounds like you made a great decision to avoid the growth into your optic nerve.

Will you post again with a follow up to your MRI?

My June 2021 MRI showed my “persistent” tumor. My neurologist brought it before the Gamma knife board and as projected I was not a candidate. The following week, the tumor board determined radiation to be the best next step.

I started radiation on 8/5/21. I go Monday through Friday until 9/17/21. It’s a quick appt lasting no more than 15 mins. The hardest part of the appt is being in the mask. The biggest side effects I have so far are fatigue and nausea.
