Incidental find 7mmx6mm partly calcified meningioma

Update on meningioma.
I saw a neurosurgeon a couple of months ago and he was so nice.
He said there is absolutely nothing to worry about. He showed me the tumour and said it’s not near any of the brain structure and would not be causing any symptoms. I was relieved. He said I have probably had it quite a few years. It’s partly calcified and only 7mm. Have to have a scan in 12 months. So relieved and my headaches were linked to me needing new glasses as my prescription had changed, everything good now.

badgieboo66: So glad to hear the good news after your first post 4 months ago. I'm sure that 4 month wait to get a definitive answer from the neurosurgeon was stressful. So happy for you.

My NS said mine has probably grown over 10 years but since a year and a half ago it has grown another 1mm. He said typically they grow one to two mm per year. Mine is also intracranial and not touching the brain yet. He said I can do nothing and it will continue to grow until I start having problems or have gamma ray to stop growth and hopefully shrink it. I opted for the gamma ray. I pray to God it works and it doesn’t grow anymore. God Bless you on your journey. Hopefully yours won’t grow anymore further
