Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

Yes I had stereotactic radiation“one and done” 3 years ago. Had terrible migraines and vertigo like symptoms that they couldn’t get a grip on afterwards. Finally have me on Topiramate 100mg twice a day which alleviates the dizziness and mostly stops the migraines. MRI says the meningioma grew larger yet went to a new neurosurgeon who disputed that finding and went back to the “wait and see” idea. Now I’m waiting a year again for next MRI.
No surgery for now.

radmom: Did the migraines and vertigo start AFTER the stereotactic radiation or were you experiencing those two symptoms before the radiation?

When did your headaches and dizziness start after sterotactic radio surgery? Was it months later or right away??
