I was diagnosed w a Meningioma, I had Gamma Knife Radiation bc it’s inoperable near a major vessel in brain. It was 14mm. Yours is very small whatever it is and there is plenty of treatment. I was a wreck like you hearing the diagnosis brain tumor, so far they think benign. The neurologist probably won’t be the best to see. Neurosurgeon and neuro oncologist (even if not cancerous) are the specialists you need. Best of luck and post a f/u if you’d like. Mayo Clinic is wonderful. I haven’t been there but I guess that’s why I signed up for this site. I had my treatment at New York Presbyterian/Columbia.

I think it’s the unknown that is so unsettling. I’ve had a couple people from the town I live in go to Mayo for their cancer treatment and I have heard nothing but good things about things so that’s why I just got an appointment there right away. Now that you say that about a neurologist, I am seeing a neuro oncologist before the neurosurgeon. I was a little freaked out about the title but like you said they see benign and malignant. Did the radiation stop yours from growing?
