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.

Julie: By "outside" of your brain I am assuming the tumor is in your meninges, which are the linings outside, covering, your brain. Then I think it would be a meningioma. If so, I had such a benign tumor removed ("resected" is the vernacular used by my neurosurgeon) and the craniotomy was not the nightmare I imagined. At any rate, try not to be too "scared to death." I am assuming your surgery is tomorrow, Wednesday. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Feel free to send me a personal message if you need to vent.
