This was my choice to wait. They were OK with that since this is a noncancerous tumor. I've had surgery before to remove 95% of it. They couldn't do radiation then since it was so close to my optic nerve for fear of hampering my vision or causing blindness. Now it's far enough away they can zap it with some kind of lazer form of radiation. Just a real strong dose and a one time deal.
