I made a more extensive comment separately, but this is exactly right. The physicians were doing the appropriate thing in this case, but if you search hard enough you are going to find someone who will indulge treatments outside the standard of care. If she suffered a major complication or death, there would be no shortage of physicians lining up to question why he took a risk on a benign lesion. The supposed 'invasion of the optic nerve' is dubious at best. Meningiomas only 'invade' if they are malignant and this would've required radiation therapy, which she did NOT get. Therefore, the pathology must have shown a typical benign meningioma. I'm thinking this surgeon got into some fibrous tissue or mass effect on the nerve... certainly could've caused a complication in the distant future if it grew, but you are dealing with probabilities now and not certainties.
