@brandynecole, I can imagine the anxiety and fear that seeing your parents with lung cancer adds to your recent diagnosis. Not 2 cancers are the same, and like you said, meningioma is neither benign nor malignant.

Clearly, you are someone who wants to take action. Rather than "watch and wait", I prefer to call this treatment option "active surveillance". It is, in my opinion, more accurate. You and your team aren't just sitting around waiting for the other shoe to drop, but rather actively monitoring, ready to action when necessary, but not before or unnecessarily. Does that make sense? Helpful?
