babs1121: Now that you have clarified the size as 3cm. and not 3mm. I am of the opinion that the two neurosurgeons that have suggested immediate surgery have pointed you in the right direction. A lesion that large could very well be causing the symptoms you describe by pressing on nerves in critical areas. Please don't feel like you have to accept a doctor postulating that your symptoms are due to anxiety when you have an MRI that very well may be suggesting otherwise. I would not "watch-and-wait" when the 2 other neurosurgeons have advised you to remove it as soon as possible. Their advice is most likely b/c it seems to be growing faster than typical meningiomas grow. Is there a reason you feel compelled to remain under the care of the doctor you refer to as your "current neurosurgeon?" I am thinking one of the other 2 neuro docs who recommended removal would be a better choice for you.
