Hi @wilda32, welcome to Connect.
I moved your message to this existing thread about multiple meningiomas in the Brain Tumor group. Here you'll meet @pegorr @lindajean @eleanor1931seminara1931 @pennie @lindalb @barbarabx @elewis and others who are dealing with recurrent meningiomas.

You asked about preventing recurring meningiomas. According to the article in the British Journal of Medicine http://bestpractice.bmj.com/best-practice/monograph/730/prevention/primary.html "no preventative strategies have been identified." Research continues into how regular use of cell phones may be a contributing factor, but "at present, little evidence exists for an association between mobile-phone use and meningiomas ..."

I'll be interested to hear what others have been told about prevention. Wilda, you mention the brain stem? Have your tumors occurred in the brain stem?
