Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

Hopefully the neurologist will be johnny-on-the-spot about referring you to a neurosurgeon. A neurologist specializes in treating disorders of the brain like epilepsy, Parkinson's, etc. A meningioma ( a tumor that is benign 97% of the time) is the specialty of a neurosurgeon. I wouldn't trust anyone else's opinion with regard to waiting to see if it grows, radiating it, or removing it. There are lots of good posts about meningiomas on this forum.

Thank you and I appreciate your comment. Wandering if I have to get a consult from the neurologist first or can I look up a neurosurgeon with MRI results in hand? Sorry, I’m so new to this. I thought I was the healthiest person I knew. Omg, this is so stressful.
