Has anyone been diagnosed with Meningioma with edema?

I have an MRI coming up March 24 and hoping it hasn’t grown. There’s edema and hoping there’s no change or possibly disappeared. My son said he asked if the edema could possibly shrink or disappear and said it wouldn’t without surgery. It’s frightening what they may find. Hoping for the best.

Hi, replying to both comments above. The surgery was a craniotomy with gross total resection, meaning a section of skull was removed and replaced to get at the tumor. The tumor location was in the forehead area, so the incision was made above the hairline to avoid scarring of the forehead. A nerve supplying sensation to the top of the head was cut. A year after surgery I still have diminished sensation at the crown of the head. The prospect of brain surgery is no doubt frightening. Hopefully the surgeon is walking you through the procedure. Good luck with the MRI. I had adjuvant radiation treatment a few months after surgery and I have the first post radiation MRI in 10 days.
