@vernicek That is good to hear, thanks for sharing. They didn't give me a timeframe as to when to have Gamma Knife.

I had Gamma knife 29 years ago. They said my meningioma was in area that didn’t need to be operated around. It has not grown. I definitely recommend a second opinion and getting the gamma knife.
Good luck to you. 🙏

@bob5555, it sounds like you've just been diagnosed with meningioma. While the news was a shock, it helped to explain why you weren't feeling quite right. What have you learned about the tumor, like how big it is and where it is located? What are the next steps for you?
