Thank you Colleen for answering my message. I'm still trying to understand how to reply/post here. Well my surgery was schedule for May 22, but I am having second thoughts. I really feel fine and so I am really worried about the side effects of this surgery. I was told back in June 2024 that this meningiomas grow really slow - but when I had the second one it has grown more than what I consider slow 2.7 to 3.1 cm. I don't have any symptoms (other than chronic headaches, that I have learned to live with). The neurosurgeon referred me to an oncologist, but he said that he recommends surgery, because radiation is only to kill cancer cells and that he doesn't really want to give me more radiation (since I have already been treated for the leukemia.) When I told the neurosurgeon about my doubts, he said we could wait another 6 months to get another mri and then from there decide on the surgery. So I think that is what I am going to do. I am going to keep getting and finding out as much info as I can on everything and then make a decision. Thank you again for taking the time to answer.
