I was diagnosed in 2020 with a 2cm olfactory groove meningioma. I’ve seen 5 neurosurgeons and they all suggest different approaches. I’m so confused! One surgeon recommends Gamma Knife, another recommends keyhole surgery above my eyebrow, another says ear-to-ear cranial surgery, one recommends nothing but watch and wait, and my current surgeon at UCLA suggests mild radiation therapy to shrink it and possibly surgery through my sinus to remove it. All procedures come with risks. It’s been three years of anxiety not knowing what to do. In the meantime, the ringing in my ears has been debilitating and I’m faced with increasing vertigo and sinus headaches. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced the same challenges and what was your outcome.
