Hello,
I had a Meningioma resection in 2002 with ~ 5% of the lesion remaining on my optic nerve. I also have an acoustic Neuroma on my right cranial nerve. Both were radiated using Fractionated Stereotatic Radiation. The remaining 5% has not grown since 2-2006 and the AN has reduced in volume by 25%. That
I cannot comment on the MRIs scans without seeing them - to a certain extent MRIs are reader dependent. Did the same radiologist read both scans, and did they make a comment that they compared both scans in the second report - if so, the change may be true. It is sometimes difficult to interpret postop MRIs because there is a lot of 'post-sugical' changes lrealted to the surgery and not related to residual tumor etc.
The Cleveland Clinic Radiology Dept has a formal internet service to review and get a second opinion on radiology images if you like
Good luck
