Diagnosed with Meningioma

I am so sorry you are going through this. I was diagnosed last year and had part of my tumor removed August 28, 2018. My tumor was wrapped around my left eye optic nerve and carotid artery. I have lost most of my vision in my left eye. I started losing vision in that eye before I was diagnosed. That's the only reason they suggested an MRI of my brain because of rapid vision loss. My surgery went well. I was in the hospital for 4 days. First 2 days in ICU, which is normal. If you have specific questions please feel free to ask. There are several of us on here that have been through this and will try to help. I am praying for you as you go through this journey.

I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. My tumor was on my optic chiasm causing sight loss in both eyes but mostly in my L eye. I was told that if I didn’t have it removed I would lose my vision. I had surgery at Jacksonville Mayo in December and my vision has improved. I was in the hospital for 3 days. Please write down all your questions to ask your surgeon. On this site there have been suggestions from many patients as to what questions to ask. Wishing you good juju as you begin your journey. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and hopefully I have an answer.
