thanks for the referral to meningioma mommas -- definitely will check it out -- in 2009 I was diagnosed with a benign meningioma so small that most MRI radiologists and some neurosurgeons cannot find it -- even with contrast -- however, the first lab report was off by a factor of 100 -- and I thought it was wrong because wouldn't I know if I had a golfball sized tumor? Now, I know that it is very possible that even a golfball sized tumor could go unnoticed for decades. My tumor was discovered by accident, and since then I have undergone annual MRIs w and w/o contrast to ensure that it is not growing. Yes, it could be removed, but why surgery when life can go on unchanged without it. Now my neurosurgeon suggests that I have an MRI only once every other year because MRI's are not all good for you, and could be harmful. I countered with a compromised and said how about one without dye every year, and one with dye every two years? The only symptom I MAY have hade was a few seconds of double vision in an eye that is not my best one, and has other reasons for not behaving well.

Thoughts?
