Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

Posted by pixie49247 @pixie49247, May 12, 2023

I just found out I have a Meningioma tumor from a MRI I had for something else. Doctor said they are almost always benign and am going to get an appointment with a neurologist. Anyone else have one of these. I’m getting very frightened now.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain Tumor Support Group.

Hi,
My name is Monique. I was hit by a drunk driver and taken to the hospital. Anyway they did a CT on my head and found out that I had Meningioma. I have the symptoms of losing eye vision and severe headaches. I’m waiting to have another CT and hopefully go back to the Mayo to get seen.
I’m scared also.
Good luck to you.

Monique:

Hang in there. I have a meningioma that was partially resected late 2020 and had Gamma Knife treatment in early 2021. In fall of 2021 they did corrective eye surgery. Today, My eyes are straight, my headaches are gone and I work full time and enjoying a very fulfilling life.
You are in good hands.

Thank you so much. Even now as I write in the post my eyes are seriously bothering me. The headaches are terrible.
Thank you for listening. I appreciate it.
I’m glad your eyes are well.
Good luck.
