@karinav4236, I see your first appointment with the neurosurgeon is coming up this week. I thought you might appreciate this information from Mayo Clinic about preparing for your appointment. See the bottom of this page: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meningioma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355648

How are you feeling about the appointment? Have you started a list of questions?

Hello Colleen, I went to my first appointment with a neurosurgeon today regarding meningioma diagnosis. I spent about 15 min with Dr, was hoping for more since I had a handful of questions. I fell rushed through the appointment the bottom line, he wants to see me in a year order a follow-up MRI for my next year appointment and he added the following notes benign calcified - unlikely to
grow
PCP for Ca index - to assess
for coronary Ca deposits.
I think a year is a very long time to wait. I would like to see a neurologist since he stated my slur speech and face dropping on my right side episode was not related to meningioma diagnosis. My MRI shows no TIA or mini stroke incident.
