The ucla radiation therapists are great. Made getting radiation ok. I ended up looking forward to treatment.

Great Info: I had a "removal" a month ago, and they want to start radiotherapy next month.
I have some reservations, but, don't want to wait until (IF) something starts to grow back.
If someone has had this experience, I'd love to hear a reply.

Wish we would if got a second opinion for my moms brain tumor. I don't understand why they couldn't just cut some of the tumor out. Relieve some pressure and then did radiation.

They never bring up the long term effects of radiation therapy . Or the effects it has on the rest of the brain. Wife is 20yr. survivor of a mixed glioma and after radiation the tumor came back less then a year. Opened skull up a second time to remove the tumor placed Gliadel wafers in the tumor bed. Now because of the radiation she ended up with a lesion the formed a cyst on her brain stem. Because of the radiation she suffers from apraxia, aphasia, Spatial awareness, Gama knifed the lesion and as of now 6 mounts latter the cyst has enlarged slightly.

[samirkakali]

Respected Madam I digonesed with schwannoma on left hypoglossal  nerve. MRI brain scanned showed enhancing lesion (measures 8 X 6 X 12 mm) mildly abuts the ICA and posteriorly compresses the IJV within the
left carotid sheath with thickening and signal changes in the left
hypoglossal nerve and left hemi-atrophy of the tongue.
I was planned for Stereotactic Radio Surgery and the surgery done on
27/09/2022. Details of radiotherapy treatment as per ‘discharge
summary’ : 6 MV beam, 12 Gy to 80% isodose.

After 4 months my symptoms remain same. How much time take to reduce or disappeare the tumor?
Are you satisfied with my treatment?
Please advise me.
With thanks
