Watching a Meningioma Brain Tumor

Hi, @cathys - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is difficult to be feeling like you are being passed back and forth between the oncologist, neurosurgeon and neurologist. Seeing your adult daughter struggle with pain, numbness, double vision and dizziness must also be hard, as her mom.
I'm hoping other meningioma patients or their loved ones here in this discussion will have some thoughts, suggestions and support to offer as you support your daughter. Please meet @deblee @robinem @pegorr @sanderjakidd @averagewoman and others here. I'd also like you to meet @johnbishop.
Is your daughter working at this time? If so, how is that going with her symptoms?

Thank you @lisalucier for your response. My daughter was working part time. But this past July she had a stroke like event and was hospitalized. Since then she has been struggling with all these problems. The doctors don't think she had a stroke but don't reallty know what the problem is. That's when they discovered the meningioma, which is small but has grown since then. I know her situation is complex because of her prior history of a brain tumor and radiation. Hopefully, a second opinion will shed some light on her situation.
