Benign brain tumor in the front: I'm freaking out

Thank you for all your information. I was just diagnosed with a 6mm meningioma during an MRI for something else, and my neurosurgeon has recommended another MRI in a year. In fact I already have the script for it. I think I'm just starting to say ok what do I want to do about this. For those of you who've already dealt with this, how did you decide between say gamma knife and surgery, did your neurosurgeon advise what would be best depending on where the meningioma was located or size?

@jaz22 I had one that was above my ear on the left side of my head and I went for like 7 years after they saw it and I started getting headaches and it grew like small amounts over time and they decided it was time to do the radiation. I did five treatments and the worst part I think was losing my hair there but no pain involved.
