I just found out 4 days ago I have Meningioma, front lobe. That was the doctor and neurosurgeon in the hospital. I was there for recurrent Chest pain , feeling of passing out and terrible headache. After some test , they found 2.2x 2 tumor in my brain. I’m so scared! There’s just tooo much to process. I had to drop school and Im working.

Good morning. Exactly 1 year ago I had my Meningioma removed at Univ. of Pa. I believe the size of it was 6 mm. It was found by mistake. We watched it until he thought that it would be time to take care of it. I had the Gamma Knife Procedure done. I went in at 6:30 and walked out at 3:30pm. It was painless and everything went well. I understand about you being scared, as I was also. Make sure that you find a really good Dr. no recovery really. Just a little slowing down a little. Good luck.
Mine was at a 3 on left frontal lobe and my chest pains were so severe I drove to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. It was severe anxiety due to the tumor resting on Nerve endings and the brain firing off crazy symptoms bc it had something foreign growing and putting pressure on vessels and nerves endings. I lost most of my hearing due to this.

@yang2, I can imagine this is scary. I hope you read the helpful posts that @riggonian @thomhorowitz and @mkoch wrote to @leell58. It sounds like you and @leell58 are in a similar stage of diagnosis and getting a treatment plan and/or second opinion.
@leell58, how did your second opinion go?
@yang2, did the neurosurgeon suggest watch and wait or are they recommending surgery or radiation due to the symptoms?
