My diagnosis came as a surprise from a scan done for other reasons. Even as an RN I had much to learn. I had consults at 2 medical centers with 4 doctors, 1 neurologist and 3 neurosurgeons. I had to educate myself about meningiomas in general and then take in the info from the specialists who each had some differing insights and recommendations about my specific tumor. I also read online reputable sources and joined this forum. From all that I found the place I want to be followed as a patient and I was able to choose the physicians I want to continue with. I was so anxious in the beginning but after my situation became better understood I felt so much better. I wish you the best and remember to take good care of yourself.
