Benign Meningioma in cavernous & sphenoid sinus & optic nerve
Diagnosis: Inoperable. Noticed left eye so being swollen. Imaging revealed a sphenoid sinus mass that extended into dura & bilateral cavernous sinus, Meckel's cave left orbit.

IM STARTING 30 ROUNDS OF radiation today. Very worried about my eyes/vision. So far, they are fine. Pituitary Gland will be fried permanently. Anyone else dealt with this? Radiation problems? Hormone problems? How long before effects were noticeable. I'm a 52 YO healthy male. Thanks for reading....scary times.

Hello @jv0000 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. How great that you are in good health otherwise as you start on this radiation journey.

I happened to find a discussion on on the same topic so you will notice I moved your post here:
- Cavernous sinus meningioma: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cavernous-sinus-meningioma/

I did this to allow you to more easily connect with other members such as @lyndi @fiddlinchuck and @jrt26 who have shared about their meningioma experiences already.

I wonder how your first few days of radiation has been going for you?
