@tlosborne, welcome. I hope that the second MRI went well earlier this week. It can be so hard to stay still. @pegorr @pranas @amomand3girls @julieannarcand @lynzee @mrector and @mkjames are a few members who also have experience with a meningioma involving the optic nerve and can share their experiences.

Tlosborne, is gamma knife a treatment option for your wife? What questions do you have as you prepare for the consultation with the surgeon this week?

My wife Marylou is scheduled for surgery tomorrow 8/12/21 at 7:30am. The doctor does not have any hope that she will regain sight in her left eye and is concerned about inadvertently causing a stroke because of the arteries incased by the tumor. However God has the final say and we are praying for His grace.
