Benign brain tumor in the front: I'm freaking out

My husband had a meningioma removed 10 years ago. The surgery went well and his recovery was excellent. No memory issues, no mobility problems, no seizures. He took all the meds as prescribed, including anti seizure, and it was great. His only complaint was that the surgical staples removal was uncomfortable.

His meningioma was watched for a year. It continued to grow, so he elected to remove it at age 77 vs waiting until it created symptoms and he was older with more risk of anesthesia after effects. It was a good decision.

ruthann: Thanks for posting your husband's success story. It gives hope to us seniors who are on active surveillance that surgery isn't out of the question even at 77.
