Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

@janeelaine Yes, I broke my right shoulder. It was God awful. Went to three orthopedic docs and all three said I should just let it heal and not replace. So, that's what I did and Im so thankful to God that it did heal beautifully. It took about 8 months to a year of PT for me to function normally again but I am back to normal. Let's pray the M stays the same or recedes. My husband died of a glioblastoma 7 years ago and that's my biggest fear from the radio surgery. He had gamma ray surgery about 10 years before he died for an AVM they found in his brain. The neurosurgeons believe the gamma rays caused the glioblastoma. What is the liklehood that two people living in the same house both got tumors in the brain? It makes you wonder. Docs don't have answers only try to help you live as long as you can comfortably.

@edeval4 ... ironically, I also recently suffered from a fall, and a broken right shoulder. I agree that it was...is awful! The fall was last November. Now, in March, I do not have complete range of motion. It still hurts. Your note gives me hope that continuing PT will allow me tp "heal beautifully"!
It is sobering that your neurosurgeons think that your husband's gamma ray treatment for meningioma may have caused his glioblastoma! I am scheduled for gamma ray surgery in April for a meningioma, which is pressing on my frontal lobe. Did the Neurosurgeons site other cases where a glioblastoma occurred following radiologic intervention? Or, were they just 'musing'?
