I just had my repeat MRI for my meningiomas. They didn't grow any at the 3-month mark, but are recommending Gamma knife to control them now, while they are controllable. The primary tumor is 2.5 cm, and the other three masses are about 0.7 cm each. My primary meningioma has affected my hearing and some dizziness. Have others had dizziness from their meningiomas? I would welcome any conversations on Gamma Knife as well.

@jvo2020neb1 A friend of mine successfully had Gamma Knife surgery, at the UC Davis Medical Center, three years ago and has had no regrowth. He is meningioma is carefully monitored by yearly MRI’s. I am not a candidate for the Gamma Knife and wish I was! You are lucky!

@jvo2020neb1: Just curious, with regard to the 2.5 cm. meningioma did the doctor tell you it's in a location that is too dangerous to remove it?
