My experience after craniotomy to remove a meningioma

@vernicek Well it's good that you aren't having any symptoms. I read someplace the meningioma only grows 1 mm a year. Mine was 4 cm when we found it, and I was asyptomatic. It really just depends on where it is located I guess. I did have mine removed even though I didn't have any symptoms. I have had a couple of issues clear after I got it out though, even though my neurosurgeon didn't think they were related, maybe they were related by pressure.

@lovestocook if you didn’t have any symptoms,what prompted the doctors to order an MRI?
