Does anyone have a falx meningioma in-between the brain hemispheres?

I found out about my anterior falx meningioma in Feb. I was experiencing headaches every morning when I wake up. MRI showed the 11x6mm tumor. My neurologist doesn't think the headaches are a result of the tumor. I have a follow up MRI. I have scheduled an appointment for a second opinion. Praying for peace of mind and healing.

@ljm1, do you have the results of the MRI or the second opinion? How are you doing?

Me! 9x12 mm. Anterior falx…. Under a web of veins of course. Said if did surgery would have e to flap open my skull from back & risk of seizure stroke etc didn’t recommend but will be glad to operate if I want! Calcified per mri — watch & wait for 6-months ‘might have been there for years’. Didn’t sound positive about RSS (radio-surgery like gamma knife et al) …. Didn’t really seem to care 1-way or the other or have looked at my file ahead of time. Lots of vague answers to my many ?s.

I requested rss 2nd opinion at Wake Forest (vsCharlotte NS practice I saw) to learn about surgery alternatives…. If I do need surgery won’t go to this guy. Possibly Duke or Unc closest to me. Btw I’m 68 & otherwise in good health, active, mild headache bands come & go. Not as sharp mentally as I was, that’s probably just age?!

As long as it’s calcified & not growing/no symptoms I’m cool, just want to know my future options.

Please detail what you’ve learned …. Our Ms are in same location & similar size
