Wishing you the very best.  The unknown when it involves you is always scary.  Having faith in your Drs is half the battle.  I also believe personality is very important.  Good luck  Ceeceek.

I have no idea where the vidian nerve is, or what post transphenoidal surgery is. Is transphenoidal really a word? But I certainly have heard of Dr. Spunberg with respect to Cyberknife, he is top notch.

Here's hoping your treatment goes well, and does what it is supposed to do, and that your recovery afterwards is smooth.

All the best, Steve

Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.
