Wow! Thank you for sharing! You have nooo idea how nice it is to talk to people who are going or have went through something similar. Yes my aunt had ovairan cancer and breast cancer. My mom had a hysterectomy by the age of 40. Both of my grandmothers had brrain tumors. I tested high risk precancerous cells on my crrvix in January this year. Ultra sound of my women parts [which I literally had to bug my gyno to death to get] was all clear in September. Then boom two days ago and 10 lbs of weight gain in just over amonth I get my first ovarian cyst and a new fibroid. Wher were your meningiomas and what did symptoms did they have?

Well, the good news with family history is you have a heads up to be watchful! We have to find the bright side to our paths when we live with chronic conditions! I have 2 meningioma's, both left frontal lobe. Had one for a LONG time...second one found after all my chemo and radiation ended for my breast cancer. Main thing I get is headache/pain in the area on occassion, but not bad. I broke my neck when I was in my early 30's( all those 30 + years) ago and all the head xrays I had in the "old days" may have contributed to tumors. I have a LOT of pain from that bad surgery. I have been under watch and wait as it is too risky to go after the tumors in their location unless worse symptoms. You'll find in the group we each have individual issues and then there are the commonalities which are always educational PLUS it is GREAT to know we are not alone!
