Will you be having yours removed? I met with her as well and liked her. I also consulted with Dr Aghi at UCSF Neurology as I’ve heard they are #2 in the country. I think Stanford is #12. I have second MRI scheduled Tuesday with follow up April 2. I just want this tumor out of my head! Not sure what is more frightening having craniotomy or walking around with this tumor in my head!!!

Patient experiences may vary. What matters most is how you feel—both physically and psychologically—about proceeding with tumor removal and whether you feel safe in that decision. Any invasive surgery, especially involving the brain, carries inherent risks. Prioritizing your well-being is essential, and taking care of yourself through healthy habits, including proper nutrition and lifestyle, also plays an important role. Hope this helps.
