I went through the radiation process in December. I was very lucky in that the tumor in my eye was small. I had absolutely no side effects or burns from the radiation treatment. At my check-up in April, my doctor (Dr. Devron Charr) told me that things looked good and that the tumor was dead and shrinking. I still have 20/60 vision in my left eye and can see ok during the day. However, I have virtually no "night" vision at all. I have noticed that I have developed a small "blind spot" in my central vision. My field vision test results had not changed at my check-up. My tumor is located on the macula so I do have the classic symptoms of macular degeneration -- all straight lines look rather "wavy" to me. All my best to you and please keep us posted on your headaches. I am worried about you, bro! Hope all is well!! Rob — I have enjoyed reading of your experiences with proton radiation.
