Watching a Meningioma Brain Tumor

It’s very helpful reading all your responses to a mengioma diagnosis. I am 60 years old and just found out about my own diagnosis after suffering a concussion. The doctor recommended CT scan at which time they discovered the meningioma. The doctor recommended an MRI to see the exact size and location so I’m waiting to proceed with that. I’m fairly certain I will have a “watch and wait” approach and I think I’m fine with that.

I fell and smashed my face, went to ER, did CT scan, found meningioma, had surgery, Trying to recover, not chewing very well, playing golf again, have numbness on entire right side of face, this sucks. Having surgery on brain is a pain in the ASS
@twomama I was recently diagnosed with slow growing meningioma. First neurosurgeon said he would do surgery. Second one at Stanford said it’s not unreasonable and could wait and watch. Can you share your journey?

I am 81 yrs old and had a 5cm meningioma that has been removed by surgery 6 weeks ago. The medications that I was instructed to take have reeked havoc on my life, swollen right side of face, swollen lips, right eye not working properly, et al. I have stopped talking those meds (at Doctor's advice) but still get medium sized headaches. Since I forgot to ask Doc at my follow up, Can I take Exedrine for those headaches?
