Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

I was diagnosed with a meningioma in 2011 and have only had it monitored in all these years. Met with the neurologist after another brain scan to find it’s grown a lot. It’s now 24mm & is of the fossa posterior. I’ve been referred to neurosurgeons now but for radiation therapy. If anyone has had such therapy could you kindly tell me the process. Thanks & good luck

I had Gamma Ray surgery in 2018 and have had no problems since. I do have an MRI every 2 years to make sure it hasn't grown. The surgery is like an MRI with no pain.
Good luck

i have had a meningoma for 5-6 years that has been monitored by my neuro-oprhamologist. On May 7, 2024, i had another scan and was told by my neuro-opthamologist that the meningoma had enlarged. He immediately referred me to an oncology neuro-surgeon he highly trusts for an evaluation. Presumably, the two will develop a treatment plan. I would think among the first things the neurosurgeon will want to do is get a biopsy
