Anyone who has had Radiosurgery please read

I had radiostatic brain surgery in mid December. My only sympton was occasional blurry vision in my left eye. Today that sympton came back. Did this happen to anyone else? Does it mean the treatment didnt work, I was told there was a 80/90% chance of it working. Could this be a new lesion? I've emailed my doctor and am waiting for a reply but decided to ask here in the meantime.
