    Hi, I received 28 sessions of radiotherapy earlier this year to control my optic nerve sheath meningioma as it had grown intracranially between my scans in Oct 2020 & March 2021. I had a follow up scan in August and the tumour is stable so not due to be scanned again until Feb. I have no vision at all in my right eye but thankfully no balance problems
