Watching a Meningioma Brain Tumor

I was diagnosed last Sept with a 2 cm meningioma and on the wait and watch path. It was a scary plan at first but I went and got two more opinions. One more neurosurgeon and one neurologist. Basically they said the same thing that many people have them and don’t ever know. My tumor is just left of center against the main center vein about two inches from the front. The risk of surgery out weighs the risk of wait and watch. Meanwhile no serious symptoms. I get how stressful it can be having something in your head that doesn’t belong. I have done some of my own research and trust what the doctors are saying. I have my moments like tonight where it comes to mind and I can’t sleep but most of the time I just live my life like it’s not there. My third MRI is this May. I hope you gain some peace about it. This blog helps and so does my faith. Thoughts and prayers.

Hello .. I was just diagnosed with small slow growing meningioma and getting a third consultation this Tuesday. Can you share your journey? Mine is left inferior frontal lobe and neurosurgeon at Stanford said I could wait and watch if I didn’t want surgery.
