Are you getting VA benefits? What are your current symptoms and how are you being treated now? What did they say about the tumor in your brain (do they recommend surgery?

bowiered51: Is it a type of brain tumor called a meningioma and they say they can't do anything about it b/c of its location? Is it otherwise some kind of benign tumor not operable because of location? If you by chance live in California there is a VA Hospital/Clinic somehow associated with Stanford University. A second opinion is always good. I am so sorry to hear this. There has always been a special place in my heart for Vietnam vets.
