Does anyone have a falx meningioma in-between the brain hemispheres?

Good morning,
I'm new to this chat. Happy to have discovered this support group.
Couple of weeks ago I had a routine MRI of brain after resection of a meningioma back in 2017. My last MRI in 2021 was clear and no signs of anything, but this time around, something may be growing in the anterior falx, according to MRI report. I'm very nervous and anxious as I have to wait a couple of weeks to discuss report findings and images with my Neuro. The findings say that there is a "plaque-like thickening of the anterior falx with homogenous contrast enhancement, possibly reflecting small meningioma measuring 4 x 10 mm"? Is that a concern you think?
Best,

rox25: I have a 6 x 3 mm. right, posterior falx meningioma. It was discovered at the same time as 2 other meningiomas when I was being screened for a stroke. (Didn't have one) The neurosurgeon did remove one of the meningiomas that was 1/16th of an inch from my optic nerve a little over a year ago. But with regard to the falx meningioma, the neurosurgeon has suggested a watch-and-wait approach. It hasn't changed/grown in a year and a half. So I am at peace with just getting MRIs once a year and monitoring its possible growth. As you probably already know, those of us diagnosed with a meningioma seem to have a tendency to develop others.
