Wow! I'm sorry but that's a load of crap! Unless it varies depending on Neuro. I had Symptoms of mine for close to 2 years give or take. I literally thought I was dying, and no 1 was listening to me. I was in and out of E.R's, traveling 3 hours to Dallas. My PCP diagnosed me w depression and anxiety. Placed me on Klonopin (that's why I believe I did not have a seizure) Mine was located on my left frontal lobe. I ended up losing most of my hearing, I just passed my year mark of surgery and am still struggling w cognitive thinking skills... yours is a little OVER twice my size! I was in surgery weeks after it was located to remove it!

GO GET A SECOND OPINION!

My first question was can we remove it. He said it would have to be 10x its size before it would cause issues. And this was my second opinion. Not dissing on him but he was a PA. My husband was quite upset that I was not able to see the surgeon. I told him that it’s the norm for the first visit to become an established patient. I guess I will just go back to the first doctor and figure out why I am having the symptoms.
