Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

Am I reading your post correctly? The meningioma was first diagnosed in the 1990s and you've been on the watch-and-wait protocol since then. And now, in 2024, you're deciding whether to have surgery. I agree with "cscmaryann"s" post that your next step would be to get a second opinion. Also, you need to educate yourself as much as possible. When consulting with
"Dr. Google" stick to reputable websites/institutions for information: Mayo Clinic,
Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, etc.

No, it wasn’t diagnosed in the 90’s. I’m asking of that is possible, considering I really had no actual diagnosis except “infection”. All the symptoms match.
The mennigenoma was recently diagnosed. When I spoke to the neurosurgeon, his first suggestion was to remove it, no other options were offered. My PCP will not respond with any opinion other than “it’s your decision.”
I read most of what “Dr Google “ had to offer, and I’m freaked. Glad I found this group.
