I know this diagnosis is very scary. But you are not alone.
You have a lot to absorb right now. Have they talked about a treatment plan? Surgery? How are you doing?

Hi. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. For treatment it's surgery. I am very scared and don't know what to expect. I am in Jamaica and if it is done here (remove some from a 3cm size) I would have to remove the balance in Miami. I wish this ould all be done over there.

I am getting a head MRI every 6 months now
to make sure meningioma does not change
hopefully. No surgery planned unless symptoms
not bearable. I have numbness in half face and
mouth but able to function. Eyes tearing with
weight of mass which bothers me of course.
Balance is also affected now.
Thank you, Judy Baxter
