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

Hugs

Welcome, @lakeout. I'm glad you and @ljm1 can connect here:

@lakeout, did you get a second opinion?

@ljm1, what did you learn at your recent appointment?
