Hi! A 6mm lesion in the foramen magnum/jugular was recently found on a CT. The radiologist said “possible meningioma”. I am having a MRI w/w/o contrast on Thursday. This research I have found said that this is a problematic area because of all the nerves and blood vessels as well as difficulty accessing for surgery. I assume that it will be a watch and wait situation. Any information that you are willing to share about your experience would be very helpful. Thank you and I wish you all the best!

well welcome to the group and i had the tumor frontal right side . classed
right under the big one. glioblastoma . mine was cancerous,
and lung cancer. had to have brain surgery that went ok. They later had to
reopen me and fix a bleeder, after that radiation and chemo. After all
that and cancer was gone, last scans showed the same so i am happy with
that. now just adjust the meds for the seizures. between being a firm
believer in god and angels i think i'm holding up good, prayer groups are a
must and good family or friends to show their support. that and get a
doctor with a good track record. and dont fret too much , your still here
and a fighter. thats a must. have something to fight for..

Im sorry in the delay in getting back to you. I hope you are doing well!
First, make sure the size of 6mm is the correct measurement. A 6mm Meningioma is about 1/4 of an inch. 6 cm on the other hand is 2.36 inches wide. So..it is possible that at 6mm it may be a watch and wait situation. If the true measurement is 6 cm that would probably be another story.
Either way a FMM is a real crappy place to have something " foreign" occupying limited and valuable space.
The whole idea is pretty concerning and it's hard not to think of the issues constantly. Do the best you can. Find fun and joy and the good in life. No matter what I have confidence you will be good during and at the end of this journey.
I love to listen and talk! Please feel free to contact me ANYTIME!
Take care for now.
