My meningioma tumor was also in the same location and super friendly with my carotid artery and optic nerve. I had my surgery at Mayo in Rochester by Dr Link and his team. What he accomplished was truly miraculous! Similar to you were the off the chart headaches from brain swelling, had a olfactory hallucinations, seizures, memory loss, and visual auras as just a few fun symptoms. I was told to expect 80% removal of the tumor, however I walked out of the hospital with 99% of the tumor removed!!!
Prayers for you to find the best possible treatment and healing.
