I’ve had a very similar experience and feelings. It was very frightening, especially when I first diagnosed. The CT Reed said it could be malignant or benign. It was very scary. Two days. I finally had surgery this August. I’m almost 3 months out and doing OK. The surgeon told me I needed advert removed so I wouldn’t go blind, just make sure you get more than one opinion from neurosurgeons. I got 3. And make sure the surgeon does a lot of this type of surgery. Mine had done 250 this year of tumors in this exact spot.
