Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

I also found out I had one through an incidental CT scan from a fall I had. Had the MRI and it was found in the dura(lining of my brain) and the neurosurgeon recommended gamma knife radio surgery bc of its size and location and my age (69). I went through with it bc I was making myself sick thinking about it all the time. I waited for about a year before doing it to see if it would grow and it did. That was enough for me to hear. I went through the gamma knife RS and it was painless. I’ll see in December if it stopped growing or hopefully shrunk a little bit (takes up
to 5 years). I’m petrified and praying to God it works. God bless you on your journey. It is scary.

God bless you on your journey as well.

edeva14: Sometimes when all factors are considered gamma knife is the best option. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, come December, to see that everything is stable. Hugs to you.
