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

Posted by wayneesc @wayneesc, Jun 5 3:42am

my mom was diagnosed with a meningioma. she had a follow up mri a year later to see if it had grown , which it hadn't. due to the fact that she is frail it is preferable not to have an operation. my question is , what is the possible warning signs to look out for while she is living with this condition and what could possibly happen which will indicate that we need to get her to a hospital?

@tonimt, getting a second opinion can be helpful. You might appreciate learning that Mayo Clinic has a 48-hour access program for brain tumor. When you call at any of the 3 campuses, you have the opportunity to be offered an appointment within 48 hours http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63 Be sure to mention the Brain Tumor 48-hour Access program.

@jasonl1012, proton beam therapy is offered at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and Phoenix, AZ. Here is more information about the
