Hi, I just found out I have a timy Meningioma tumor from a MRI also and my Doctor said they are almost always benign. I too, am going to get an apointmetnt with a neurologist. My Doctor also said they may just wait and see what happens. Best of wishes!

cant speak for anyone else, but....i had one mengioma diagnosed13 yrs ago in california @ stanford med and another here in st paul last year. i was told they are very slow growing.
that does not take away from the fear and angst of wait and see, i know.

Hi. I was diagnosed with one in 2003. Doctor didn’t think I’d make it through surgery, so he used radiation to eliminate it. All has been well until this year, when we found a second one growing. My new doctor had taken a wait and see attitude. Not happy about it since it is so close to a major blood vessel, but my PCP says this doctor is one of the best, so I am taking his word on this
. Don’t be scared. They are benign and slow growing. Make sure you get regular scans and work with your doctor. Join a support group, they will help see you through this!
