Me too. No diagnosis yet. Going for MRI with contrast .

@staywell All meningiomas are considered benign. That simply means the lesions on the meninges (aka meningiomas) are non-cancerous. Meningioma brain tumors should not be thought of as non-serious. There is no known cause or cure for this enigma of a primary brain tumor.

There are numerous factors during the diagnosis and treatment of meningiomas that lead to life-altering, debilitating changes in ones health-related quality of life. I am an 11-year survivor-thriver of an R Spheno-orbital/Sphenoid wing with cavernous sinus involvement meningioma.

Go well...
