Hi, im a 54 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with a meningioma situated opposite my right temporal pole. It was an incidental finding after having a really bad headache and was sent to A&E where a ct scan showed up a small lesion. An MRI scan followed and highlighted the Meningioma. Since my diagnosis which has left me traumatised i have been worried about the watch and worry as i call it approach. Im told its about 12mm in size which is probably very small in comparison to other peoples but its the not knowing if its growing until my next scan in july. My headaches were not caused by this tumor according to my neuro surgeon neither is the whoosing noise in my right ear. Has anyone else had a similar experience of non related symptoms. ?
