Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

Good morning. Yes I have one also. I tripped and fell back in 2021, went to ER and was told that everything looked good, and that my Meningioma from 2006 hadn’t grown much. No one ever told me that I had one. Long story short, I had the Gamma Knife in March, 2024. It was amazing I was in and out in 1 day. Latest MRI, shows, that it hasn’t grown since. The outcome will be that it will eventually start slowly shrinking. Get a good Dr. and a good hospital. I’m fortunate to live within distance of Univ. of Pa. Good luck. I know that it maybe scary, but, fortunately they have a non-invasive procedure that hopefully you’ll qualify for.

@dlc1953 Its my understanding that surgical removal is preferred but who really wants a craniotomy??? What is a Gamma Knife - I’ve never heard of that but interested in learning more.
