Welcome @mamaseta. Such a good question to ask. I moved your question to the Brain Tumor support and am tagging fellow meningioma members like @mrector @cindyt63 @nancye3 @1myhope @purpleturtle @bonthesea @pleu @colom22 @mkoch to join the discussion and share their tips and experiences with you.

It's understandable that you are growing anxious as the surgery date approaches. I'm glad you came here to find people to talk with openly and without fear of making anyone worry. It's a big weight to carry your worry alone.

That said, I bet your family and friends are worried too. Is there someone in your circle of family and friend supporters who might be relieved and honored if you share your worry with them? You might be surprised that they're keeping it bottled up too as to not worry you. What concerns are racing in your mind today?
