Sorry, your question is open-ended in that there is not enough info to properly respond such as:
* How was the mass diagnosed? *
* Was it by imaging ( CAT, MRI)?
* There is a written report explaining what the imaging shows.
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?

You are in good hands at Mayo Clinic. I had successful surgery for a trigeminal Schwanoma in 2017. I had a great sense of comfort from the moment I walked into the clinic. Wishing you all the best.

First need neurooncologist. Sometimes a stereotactic biopsy can work but a clean direction of most tumors is best.. I was in neurosurgeons hands for almost 8 hrs. No significant postop pain. Full tumor removal with clean margins
Doctor said "wait and see." The meningioma is small, and he is very optimistic. He answered questions before we could ask. Follow up in 3 months with an MRI and if no growth then annually. We are beyond happy and blessed. Thank you all for reaching out! God bless you all on your journeys! 🙏
