Should I choose to do surgery right away or wait a while?

I also have a meningioma and my surgeon has suggested waiting 6+ months and checking it every 3 months for any growth or changes in it. Mine causes nerve pain up the back left side of my head when I move my head different ways, and some unsteadiness on my feet.

Thank you for your response!
Glad to heat about tour wife’s successful surgery…The surgeon is giving me 6 months to sit on it, also to find out how fast the tumor will grow. Its been a couple months since we’ve discussed it but I am seeing more changes/symptoms so I feel like if I wait and the tumor grows, I’d have more problems. But if I go thru surgery, i’m worried about the ‘what if’s’ since the tumor is pressing on the pons, putting pressure on my trigeminal nerves.

My wife had brain surgery to remove a tumor of similar size on July 6. The surgery went well and the surgeon said he got all of the tumor he could. Her recovery from the surgery was remarkable as it was on July 6 and she left the hospital on July 8 after on two nights there. Her recovery at home was uneventful and she had little pain which was managed by meds for a week or so before she was off those and onto over the counter pain meds. The surgery itself was not extremely difficult for her. The diagnosis of the type of tumor is the most important point in my estimation, as that dictates the follow up care. The direction of the surgeon as far as what they feel they can remove and what side effects are the important factors in the decision. In my wife's case, there were no real side affects from the surgery itself. If you are not confident with what the surgeon is telling you get a second opinion before proceeding. Wishing you success and may God bless you.
