Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

In Sept 2022 I was diagnosed with a 6cm meningioma on the right frontal lobe. Surgery a couple weeks later was successful to have it removed. Due to the size my Dr said he wouldn’t wait to get it taken out. If it’s small and considering it location and risks, radiation may be the best option. I am undergoing observation. Yearly now to make sure it doesn’t come back. MRI already on the dance card for March. Dr said if there would be any re-growth, chemo or radiation would be the suggested treatment.
My heart breaks for those who can’t have it removed and have to live with them. It’s not supposed to be there it’s not from our Father. My prayers go up for you all either living with them or treating them. Prayer also go up for the medical teams who are helping people with them.

Helenbrown: It could very well be that whatever intervention is suggested will not be able to be scheduled until after your birthday trip. You didn't mention if your tumor is a particular type of tumor called a meningioma. If it is a meningioma, which is usually benign and slow growing, I would think your birthday trip would be fine unless the meningioma is pressing on a structure that is compromising your balance. You sure wouldn't want to suffer a serious fall. You should be able to talk to your doctor or his medical assistant for advice.

Ive been told that it's about 2 inches big with swelling ive had this for a while apparently ive had a number of symptoms like left leg goes dead i get headaches and my balance hasn't been good for a very long time but they dont seem in a hurry to contact me after my second MRI like they was for the first they called me 3 hours after having the first.

I went on holiday for 7 days in November and I was fine, I just want them to help with the swelling to ease my headaches and they can do what the want when I get back

roz0606: This happened to me as well. I had a CT sinus scan in 2017; The report came back "no sinus infection."
But I kept have what I perceived as sinus issues as well as my left eyelid seeming to droop more than my right.
Slight "ghosting" of letters when I did close up reading. Saw an E.N.T. and eye doctor at least 3 or 4 times during a five year period always complaining of the same symptoms. Finally, a neurologist looked back at the 2017 CT sinus scan and found a 2.7 centimeter meningioma that was never cited by the radiologist. So, after reading your post, I guess it happens and hopefully is not that commonplace. The meningioma was removed in 2023 and it was in my sinus cavity and I was experiencing some of the same symptoms that you cited. A second opinon is always good.
