Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

ponce1991: I had a craniotomy on Oct. 17. Two weeks later I was passing out Halloween candy. My scar went from my left ear to the top of my head. (I had like 45 stitches where they sewed the skin flap down after removing it for surgery.) I have 2 other meningiomas that we are just watching with yearly MRIs. I know what the surgery is like, having gone through it, and I refuse to worry about the other 2 in my brain unless I have to; and that would be if a follow up MRI shows the meningioma has grown to the point that something needs to be done about it.

I hope you are better. I have 2 meningiomas. One is bigger and one smaller but they aren't going to do anything unless they are bigger at my next MRI which I will have done in November. It is a worry and I wish I understood everything better or how I even got these. I never would have known except my sodium went really low and the kidney doctor was trying to find out the cause. I believe my meningiomas are near my pituary gland. I just wish they were gone but then the surgery scares me more.

WOW!
