Options available for treating Meningiomas

[Anche2022]

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with meningioma. Big surprise and scary to have surgery...is there any other treatment to help

Hello sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I have also just found out I have a Meningioma tumour in my left frontal lobe. I am still waiting on an appointment with the neurosurgeon but my GP told me I am watch and wait for now as only symptoms Pulsatile tinnitus. I believe for treatment Radiation can be done but I think this may only be if the tumour is inoperable or smaller than 3cm. There is a Facebook page I have joined called Meningioma support group - The brain tumour charity and also the following website is helpful thebraintumourcharity.org. Which may help you get more information. Have you had an appointment yet to see the Neurosurgeon ?

Hello, I'm sorry to hear your news, I found out I had multiple meningiomas in June last year, 1 tumour was causing issues with my vision so I had to have surgery to remove that one, can honestly say I expected to be in agony and feel awful after but I genuinely didn't i had no pain or discomfort, the other tumours are a watch and wait 1 can't be removed the others are very small so mri every 6 months, and the radiation therapy if any changes, the brain tumour charity are great for information,
