I had a3x2 cm meningioma resected a year ago, then a second one grow and I underwent surgery again this past summer. Several points will count on your decision like someone described above. From my review of studies, surgery continues to be the cornerstone for the treatment of meningioma tumors, followed by adjuvant radiation when needed. Very important to consult a second opinion, and frankly very common in medicine and nothing wrong with doing it. The type of tumor is very important, but you will find this after you have done surgery, and they sent the tumor to pathology. Most of these tumors are grade I or benign but some are grade II, like mine, which can regrow in adjacent areas as they have a more aggressive molecular activity. So hopefully yours is benign but they can grow to press in important structures in your brain, so very important to be monitored for growth and symptoms. My recovery went really well. No pain. I did some physical therapy as my balance was affected due to edema cause by the tumor on my brain. I still have a remaining that was near to my optic nerve that could not be removed, and I will be undergoing radiation soon. Wish you the best on your journey and keep in mind to live your life and keep strong!
