Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

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.

That’s where mine was. Pushing the pituitary gland over a little, pressing on my optic nerves and on the internal carotid arteries. My surgeon got 95% through my nose then sphenoid sinuses. He left a little “cuff” around the arteries because removing that would have been risky.
