Watching a Meningioma Brain Tumor

Hi I've been recently diagnosed with a 2cm meningioma in the Falx and parasagittal regions. Neurosurgeon wants to wait and watch. I was seeing a Dr for newly acquired migraines. This was a new Dr and decided an MRI but not expecting anything. Neurosurgeon says he doesn't think the meniginoma is causing my migraines. I'm just at a loss!

Hello @kkenn
I would like to add my welcome, along with Lisa's, @lisalucier, to Mayo Connect. I looked at the National Institute of Health website that discusses this type of surgery. Here is the link to the article,

Have you had any paresis or symptoms other than the migraines?

Hi, @kkenn, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
You may be interested in this Mayo Clinic information on meningioma: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meningioma/symptoms-causes/syc-20355643.
You mentioned that after sending you for an MRI, the doctor you saw about newly acquired migraines did not think your migraines were caused by the meningioma in the falx and parasagittal regions with which you were recently diagnosed. Hoping that some of the other members in this discussion might have some thoughts about the migraines and also may have some insights for you as someone who is newly diagnosed with a meningioma. Please meet @robinem @cindyt63 @sandra511@wendyah @wkindel and others.
Did your doctor talk about what might be causing the migraines, @kkenn?
