Thank you for your reply, back when I was diagnosed with the meningioma (in June of 2024), the neurologist told me that many people live up to 30 years with these things in their heads, because they grow slowly. When I had this second mri done, it has grown. Now I went to see the neurosurgeon and right away he said I should have it removed. I have so many questions, I am really nervous and anxious. I don't know what to think. I told him yes that I wanted to have this surgery done, but I'm really having doubts if I should have the surgery. I'm afraid of all the things that can during the surgery and also after, like possible side effects.

I would also like to mention that I had Leukemia as a child, when I was 10. I underwent treatment including radiation. This neurosurgeon said that a lot of patients that had radiation treatment might develop this meningiomas.
