@as72: It's always so scary to hear there is any kind of growth in our brains. But as your doctor stated they are almost always benign. There are a lot of very informative posts on this forum so scroll back with pen and pencil in hand and reading about other's experiences will help you formulate a list of questions to ask the neurologist. Personally, I think one of the most important questions is,- based on my meningioma's location what critical structures is it impacting? - Knowing this will help you decide if you can just lay low and not worry too much or if you should be more proactive in choosing a course of action.
