Hi I have just been diagnosed with sphenoid meningioma and also with dehisence semi circular canal , which is a problem with bones that affect balance in inner ear. Can't believe I received diagnosis unexpectedly in a letter. I then received 2 outpatient appointments, one for ENT and one for Neurosurgery but very stressed not being able to discuss with anyone until appointments in 6 weeks. So many questions and no answers and feel I can't plan anything until I know situation. Also really worried about work and losing by driving licence, I have blue badge due to poor mobility and rely on my car to work and get around. Finding it hard to feel positive about anything right now and also don't want my family to worry too much
