I also had a frontal lobe meningioma, not quite tennis ball size but still large enough to cause serious problems. Based on reading other accounts frontal lobe does seem like the least bad area to have a tumor because it’s more accessible than in other areas. Since radiation and chemo were involved did you have a grade 2 or 3 tumor? Were the surgeons able to remove the whole tumor?Mine was grade 2 and completely removed, and the jury is still out regarding radiation treatment. The radiation oncologist was neutral on whether to have radiation treatment. The proposed treatment was intensity modulated radiation, 30 treatments over 6 weeks. I’m worried about long term cognitive effects of that much radiation to the frontal lobe. I’m getting a second opinion on that. Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.

Hi - how are you? Did you end up getting radiation?
