Watching a Meningioma Brain Tumor

👋 I had a similar opportunity to wait and watch on two meningioma lesions. One is not located in an area they feel comfortable removing the growth from and is about 5/8 inch. The other is approximately 1 inch and in an easier location to remove. I decided not to watch and wait on removing the one inch growth. I will be 55 in July, But I am not going to get younger or healthier. If this is remotely connected to some fatigue, foggy thinking, memory problems, I don’t want to continue battling the frustration. My symptoms could also be menopause related, or related to my autoimmune (Hashimotos)—however this is a known factor and will only eventually have to come out, so I have asked my neurosurgeon to schedule the procedure at the end of August.

@bellachele68, welcome. What type of surgery will you be having? Is gamma knife an option for you?

@pixie49247 and @courtneyizquierdo, checking with you two too. How are you doing?
