I had a sinus cat scan that showed i have a meningioma on my left frontal lobe. I will need an mri to confirm. I had no idea. After reading all the info provided by the Mayo website now I'm worried. I lost my sense of smell several years ago and have ringing in my ears which are both symptoms but can also be explained away as aging as the first ENT I visited did. Anyone out there with one of these hard to spell tumors and if so, please share your story.

Hello @pam1954 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Hearing a diagnosis of any kind can be jarring and sometimes the information can be overwhelming. It is good you've come to Connect for some support by others with similar experiences to help you wade through this journey!

You will notice that I have moved your post into a discussion called "Diagnosed with Meningioma" that you may find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/diagnosed-with-meningioma/

I'd like to bring in members @fiddlinchuck and @jmb73 to see if they can share their early diagnosis experience with you as you wait for your MRI.

When is your MRI appointment and what you are most worried about?
