I had a MRI in February
due to some pressure and dizziness.
Results indicated a 4.5cm.right superior parietal mass extending to the superior dural surface.
Immediately made an appt at OSU James Cancer hospital.
Had a craniotomy on Feb 28.
They said it was a meningioma and are most always benign .
In ICU for several days, ready to go home, and the pathology came back malignant.
Determined it was a solitary fibrous tumor of the CNS. Grade III. Very rare.
Had 6 weeks of daily radiation.
I feel like it was a miracle and because of lots of prayers and support - I am still here!
Follow up MRIs and PET scan have been good. Will continue every 3 months.
Exercising, yoga, eating healthy and prayers.
I wouldn’t wait, take care and stay positive!

Sue Marie, you've been through A LOT. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm 3 weeks post craniotomy and your story has motivated me to quit feeling sorry for myself. Take care!
