Thanks for your response. It helps to know others are dealing with the same issue. My family is freaking out, as I am their "person". It doesn't seem fair to them or me to wait and watch, when they have already told me I will need to do something with it. I'm scared to death of the craniotomy surgery, but I guess I would like to get it over and move on with my life hopefully...

Same here. Mine is 3 cm and is calcified. Same advice from my doc: 'wait and watch, follow up MRI in 6 months'. Since I've got some other health issues going on, it hasn't been hard for me to not think too much about it. Ha...the good news and the bad news!

@ees1 I am surprised they are wait to do your surgery. I was diagnosed early September 2025. Had my MRI and was in for surgery by September 18, 2025. Mine was also calisified. Mine was on the left side. I did have some residual effects from the surgery. I have some lack of sensation on my right side, but the worst is with my right foot and leg. It is getting better with physical therapy. My pathology report came back as a grade 2. I will undergo radiation treatment. Remember most meningiomas are not cancerous. I am doing fine. I came out of the surgery feeling 100 percent better than when I had the tumor. They were not able to get it all because of the location of the tumor. Since it is a grade 2 it will come back, hence the radiation. All I know is that God has been good to me through this whole journey and the next phase of my journey that is to start after the 1st of the year. Talk to your neurologist about all your options.
