Benign brain tumor in the front: I'm freaking out

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.

@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?
