Anyone has had radiation after surgery?

I had surgery at UCSF last month (January 13, 2025) to remove a 3cm acoustic neuroma. The surgeon removed 98% of the tumor to preserve the vestibular and facial nerve. This was agreed before the surgery, as I also have a hearing loss on my "good side", unrelated to the tumor. The recovery is going well and the surgeon is now recommending one session of CyberKnife (in 3 months) to prevent the tumor from growing back. He says one session is enough to treat and prevent regrowth.

Has anyone had a similar experience that required radiation after surgery?

Thank you,
Carolina
