@reginamyers1958, experiencing apathy and depression out of the blue must've been confusing at the time, if that was out of character for you. Do you recall if the apathy came on gradually or suddenly?

It came on gradually. I was diagnosed with a tiny meningioma when I was 45. Neurosurgeon said “nothing to worry about” and made no mention of followup MRI’s. I divorced when I was 55, so naturally I thought I was depressed. The apathy emotion was a gradual thing for sure. Big meningioma discovered at age 64. Very thankful for a top notch neurosurgeon from OSF in Peoria.
