Meningioma just diagnosed

I had my first appointment yesterday with a neurosurgeon. He confirmed that I have a meningioma with tails. He feels we can wait and see if it grows or I get more symptoms before we do anything. I have another MRI in 6 months. I was glad to hear this but it is still a little concerning to realize you have a brain tumor. Blessings to all of you that are dealing with many of the same concerns. I will keep you posted. Thank you all for your ongoing support 🙏 ❤️

@doyel
It is disconcerting and I had to force myself to stop “awfulizing” and remember that Jimmy Carter did very well with him brain surgeries and our tumors pale in comparison to his. If he can do it, so can we! Best wishes, and keep us posted! Merry Christmas!

@doyel: My 8mm meningioma hasn't grown in 2 years. So try and relax and just enjoy the holidays. Trust your neurosurgeon's perspective/care plan and try not to stress. (Easier said than done, I know.)
