Can my menigioma grow that quickly?

welcome to the group, have to say i love your attitude have a blessed day.

MRI’s used to scare me, too, but if you ask, where I go now, puts mirrors on your chest so that you can see the people working the MRI machine. They all look so business like and normal that I relax.

Yes, MRI's are more accurate but they are terrifying to me. So I have decided to not have any more of them. 96 years old, benign meningioma.

my tumor was over two inches in size and cancerous. had more than one doctor checking me out and what testing along with surgery and what type , what kind of chemo mix will work? my world was kayos overnight. didn't know how 2 cm tumor and growing fast could just drop me in my tracks, but it did. i lost 9 months of memory due to the location of the tumor and frontal lobe right side of the brain . a little while after the initial surgery i had a bleeder they had to go back in and fix but i had faith, and i am a fighter. have to believe in what the brain is capable of and the people that love you. i had multitudes of prayer groups that had prayer chains going. yes i ama believer. that's ok .im 68 and rocking the doctors with what i am getting done. so many seizure's and here i am doing exercise routine, walk 3000 steps daily and defying what doctors said cant be done.. right now cancer free and looking for a girlfriend. Catch me if you can.....

check out this doctor on his video i believe it might help with a couple answers.

I’ve heard that MRI’s are more accurate than CT scans. My uneducated guess is that the meningioma hasn’t really changed, but that the MRI is the more accurate measurement.

When my meningioma was first discovered and measured the size varied slightly when a repeat MRI was done at a different medical center a few months later. The neurologist said that didn't mean it had grown, but could be a variance in the way the second radiologist read and reported on the scan. I've been told benign meningiomas grow about 1 mm-2mm a year. Going from 1.5 to 3 centimeters is a substantial increase in a week's time. Surely the doctor who ordered the scan can offer you an answer. Hopefully you have an appointment in the very near future with the ordering physician who can guide you in the right direction of what to do next.
