I have had 5 surgeries, unfortunately, and have been dealing with this for about 7 years. I live in NJ and go to robert wood johnson university hospital. This is the first time they couldn't remove the entire tumor with one of the surgeries (they have taken 1/2 out through nose, then the other 1/2 through the skull) Unfortunately, this sucker doesn't want to leave me 
Such is life I guess. Still have no clue what causes them. i am only 27 years old, so since I am 20, I have been dealing with this. We will see in Dec. how it is going. Did your radiation kill the tumor or shrink it? Mine only shrunk a little so far, by the doctor was just happy it didn't grow, because it seems to be very aggressive.
