Hi  Frenchgirl44,

Welcome to Cancer Chat.

I hope someone will be along soon to chat who can share some information with you about your sciatic nerve schwannoma.

It's quite a rare kind of tumour, but I hope someone with experience comes across your post.

I'm glad you're pleased with the treatment you're receiving; best wishes for the future.
