Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

So is it by the pituitary gland? And pressing up on the optic nerve? That’s where mine is and I’ve had two opinions so far and going to Mayo in 10 days. I can let you know what they say, but so far all have said remove it. At 3 cm I’m surprised they wouldn’t. Definitely get another opinion at Mayo. It’s your health and you deserve it

There is a multi compartmental meningioma centered in the right middle cranial fossa that extends into the right cavernous sinus and sella with gentle mass effect on the pituitary gland. This encases the cavernous right internal carotid artery with mild vascular narrowing. There may be some contact of the prechiasmatic right optic nerve at the superior orbital fissure.
