Meningioma questions
Hi, I have a 12mm left parasagittal
meningioma
which has been monitored over the past 4 or 5 years and has been growing about 1 mm per year. I was recently contacted by an oncologist who suggested I have it treated by Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

Have surgery or wait?
Key among them are: Will brain reaction and neurological deficits continue to increase even though the size of the
meningioma
remains stable? Are there risks in waiting longer before having surgery?

My mom needs craniotomy
In 2007 she was first diagnosed with a
meningioma
that was diagnosed incidentally because she underwent an MRI because she has optic neuritis. At the time she had the CyberKnife and up until 2013 the tumor had not grown. She had no symptoms. About 6 months ago, her personality started to change.

Possible side effect from ADT

meningioma
tumors (sometimes incorrectly called a brain tumor. This is what happened to me.

It’s All Due to the Thyroid: Lessons Learnt From a Patient's Perspective
We present a case of a 79-year-old female with a history of Hashimoto's hypothyroidism,
meningioma
, who erroneously attributed many of her symptoms to hypothyroidism despite having normal thyroid labs. The patient had symptoms of fatigue, dysphagia, and proximal muscle weakness.

What to expect?
Meningioma
that showed up when I had an emergency MRI about 6 weeks ago after I suddenly lost feeling in one half of my face which started at the end of January this year, it's pressing on my trigeminal nerve and working its way over my right hearing nerve, pushing my brain out of the way a bit and apparently

Questions to ask Neurosurgeon
When I finally did get a phone appointment, the GP told me that I had a
meningioma
and he'd referred me to a neurosurgeon (didn't elaborate or tell me what me what expect). A few weeks down the line, I have my first telephone appointment with a Neurosurgeon next week.

Appointment instead of letter!!!!
I had a craniotomy 5 years ago to remove a large benign
meningioma
. Regular MRI which is followed by a letter with good news of no recurrence. This time after MRI two weeks ago I get a letter with an appointment via phone call for 6th Jan from neurosurgeon. I’m scared!
