@jvo2020neb1 Hi--I'm so sorry you are going through this. Watch and wait can be so anxiety provoking. I watched my right CPA meningioma for just over a year under the care of my neurosurgeons. It showed some slow growth, but also resulted in very painful facial trigeminal neuralgia that couldn't be treated well with medications. I had near removal of meningioma by retrosigmoid crainiotomy last June at Mayo Rochester, so I'm about 10 months out in my recovery. My tumor was grade 1 but did have a mitosis rate. Post-surgery, I still have occasional facial neuralgia that seems to relate to headaches or fatigue and occasionally, a general feeling of swelling at the surgical site. Overall, I'm doing well and getting back to my exercise and activity levels before surgery. I initially had balance issues that required several months of vestibular therapy, and eye tracking/nystagmus issues that are finally resolving with eye therapy. I also have partial right side hearing loss and a new hearing aid that works really well. If anyone has any specific questions, I'm always happy to message. Best wishes.
