I have been diagnosed with either a calcified meningioma or a calcified trigeminal schwannoma …different location though, but I’m also interested in hearing what others have to say about a calcified tumor and the growth potential. I’m also watch and wait. I go next month again. Mine is shy of 3cm 🫣, clear borders, but tricky tricky location. I also am avoiding CT scan for fear of more radiation and I’m also interested in hearing what others have to say re: gamma knife to a calcified tumor. Radiation has given me a lot of anxiety since my diagnosis.
