Diagnosed with Meningioma: Worried about another seizure

What is the size of the tumor and where is it at? You might want to hold off on that trip for now. I had a 6cm meningioma late 2022 on the right side over my ear. My neurosurgeon advised that due to the size and it gave me stroke like symptoms but was a seizure that if it were him, he wouldn’t wait 2 weeks to get it out. That’s what we did, two weeks later I was in the hospital and back out in about 48 hours.

Thanks for the information. Here is the details I was given:
there is a homogeneously enhancing mass, corresponding with
meningioma, in
the anterior medial aspect of the right middle cranial fossa is near the orbital apex measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.8 x 1 cm (TR by AP by CC), causing mild mass effect on the anterior temporal pole.
