benign brain tumor in the front

Posted by leell58 @leell58, 2 days ago

I'm so scared about this tumor! I'm having a second opinion this week with a different neurosurgeon. I'm freakin the fuck out and all I want to do it drink over it!

When you saw the first neurosurgeon did he define your "benign brain tumor" as a meningioma? If so, take a deep breath and try to calm down. It's the best kind of benign brain tumor to have. Sending good thoughts your way that this is the situation. Let us know.

The truth is in the pathology report. It will state stage of tumor.

Thank you for your response. Yes, they did mention it is a stage 1. I guess this means I'm okay for now unless it grows. Thanks, Kelly
