Hi @kelcor1025, I read in another discussion that your daughter has a brain tumor called a meningioma. Is that correct?

Mayo Clinic offers this list of questions will help you make the most of your time. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meningioma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355648

Is my meningioma cancerous?
How large is my meningioma?
Is my meningioma growing? How quickly?
What treatments do you suggest?
Do I need treatment now? Or is it better to wait and see?
What are the potential complications of each treatment?
Are there long-term complications I should know about?
Should I seek a second opinion? Can you suggest a specialist or hospital that has experience in treating meningiomas?
Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can have? What websites do you suggest?
Do I need to decide about treatment right away? How long can I wait?

Kelcor, when is the next doctor’s appointment? How is your daughter doing?
