Hesitated whether to share this or not, in case Simone would read it...

My (then 70yo) mom got diagnosed with something very similar three years ago (golfball-sized tumor just behind one of the eyeballs). It was super scary for everyone involved.

The surgeon (in Linköping, Sweden) was one of the top specialists globally on this type of procedure - I did a ton of research before the surgery.

Recovery took a few days. They were wonderful at the hospital.

She's fine now, but her eye-sight on the affected eye is like 30%. I think the reason for this is that it was diagnosed quite late.

I'm quite surprised that such a young person like Simone (she's 27 according to wikipedia) has a golf-ball sized tumor.
