Meningioma and Cavernoma: Stressed Waiting and Watching

Posted by EES1 @ees1, Jul 13, 2017

Never ever thought I'd be in a discussion like this. But. No surgeries ever. "Healthy as a Horse." 62-year-old female. Diagnosed with "left paramedian posterior frontal convexity meningioma (16mm x 16mm x 10mm). Small left cerebellar cavernoma." No symptoms. Wait and watch. Pins and needles. Stressed beyond words. Having another conversation with PA in Neurosurgeon's office because I have more questions. Is there a relationship between meningiomas and cavernomas (both found incidentally)? I have sometimes...a swelling shaped like a football on my forehead and wondering if it's related. Mainly I'm numb from diagnosis. Thanks for being here. It's a funny life....

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain Tumor Support Group.

Started using turmeric for osteoarthritis and now reading it's not good to use if you have a cavernoma. I have small one they say is old and not bleeding. Any ideas??
