Calcified Meningioma

First of all, I am assuming, since you didn't mention it, that your mother didn't break her hip after falling. What a blessing. From my understanding calcified meningiomas are a positive sign that the lesion is slow growing. I am not a doctor but at the age of 88 memory loss, hearing problems, and personality changes can be age related and not necessarily correlated with the calcified meningioma. I don't know if by "non-surgical options" you are referring to stereotactic radiation but if it were my mom I'd let sleeping dogs lie. (To quote an oft used idiom.) What does her doctor suggest?

@mkoch - she had three fractures - shoulder, hip and femur.
These problems - hearing loss, personality changes, etc. Began occurring after the accident. Personality changes - what I mean is that she could be very sbusive for 2-3 hours and then take a nap and become very loving.
