Living with a meningioma: What warning signs may indicate changes?

thank you for your reply. she is quite frail and the doctor suggested waiting a while before having another scan as it appears that the meningioma is not growing. The only symptoms she has from it, is that her speech is impaired. What I am trying to establish is any possible warning signs to look out for that would indicate that there are other complications developing and what the possible further complications could be, so that I can rather catch them early. This is assuming that there may be further complications, which there are not at the moment

I think best to ask your mom’s dr. I have a meningioma and asked neurosurgeon what symptoms to look out for and he told me none. Apparently, the potential of symptoms really depends upon where the meningoma is located

Wayne,
It is great that your mom is basically symptom free, outside of the speech impairment. Is the speech problem particularly frustrating for her? Does she live by herself?
I do hope you have the opportunity to inquire about Palliative Care for your mom. They can provide a great deal of insight into a chronic health issue like this and monitor any changes, (however slight), which may be occurring and that you may not be aware of.
