From my personal experience, I agree on not planning to wait until it becomes an emergency. I waited because I didn’t know I had a meningioma until it bled, a stroke. I managed to call 911 before I passed out. I awoke 2 days later in the neuro ICU after emergency surgery. I was extremely lucky.

A small percentage of meningiomas bleed but if they do, the neurosurgeon who consulted with my son about performing the surgery, gave my odds of a meaningful life even with the surgery as 1 in 10. I most likely would die in the neuro ICU after the surgery. Without the surgery I most certainly would die.

Best wishes as you go forward.
