@nannymitch I couldn't wait a year, not that I don't have the patience, I just don't want the chance of it getting away from me and being on the raw end of the deal. I'm gonna send you a prayer------- sent 🙏 the way time passes, a year isn't like when we were young and always in a hurry.

@nannymitch

It was removed in 2013 and so they would have had tissue to biopsy. They probably have an idea how fast it might grow back, based on the pathology report, not that the prediction will be right or that they necessarily will volunteer the information. But the kind and grade of the original meningioma may be relevant.

Best wishes to you going forward. The sense of uncertainty can be hard to handle. I know; I had a stage 2 meningioma removed 9 years ago and still get depressed before the next scheduled MRI.
