I see the neurosurgeon for the first time Dec the 10th
Iam a little sared. I have pain in my right eye that comes and goes. It can go for a week or more before it happens. Convince my self it is not coming again but there it is. MY meningioma is 2.1x2.3x2.3 cm they say that's not to big but I'm anxious to find out what they can do. Forgot to tell you I'm 78 years old and have ITP low plattlet count . Please keep me in your prayers and I will do the same.

@doyel - you are very wise to see a neurosurgeon immediately! I was very frightened when I was first diagnosed, but we decided to watch and wait. Neurosurgeon does not believe mine is malignant.
I’ll certainly say a prayer for you. Please keep us posted!
Sending hope and blessings. Dolly

@doyel: I had a 2.7 cm. meningioma 1/16th of an inch from my optic nerve. I wonder if your eye pain could be the meningioma is pressing, in some way, on your optic nerve, or another cranial nerve that intersects with your eye. Glad to hear you will get a lot of information when you see the neurosurgeon in 3 days.
