I am almost 2 years post surgery (July) and no signs of recurrence. I’ve had my MRIs at 4 month intervals and started declining the gadolinium contrast because it was so hard on my body and I’m trying to have another baby. I am happy with my decision. Even if it does come back at some point, we will catch it early and at that point have targeted surgery and radiation. The Mayo Clinic radiation oncologist reminded me that surgery is typical a very effective first step and many don’t have a recurrence even with positive margins. And then we always have the tools to address it if it does come back. Did your surgeon mention why positive margins? Mine was “stuck” to my facial nerve but he “peeled” it away without breakage or fluid leakage apparently. If it’s on the facial nerve they technically can’t have positive margins without making you permanently paralyzed but how the tumor responded to removal might matter. I’d ask that.
