I was diagnosed about three weeks ago with a meningioma. The radiologist report states that it is a 1 cm. meningioma in the left hemisphere. We have no idea how long it’s been there, because I’ve never had any previous MRI’s.
All I know is that since it is small (and I’m not showing any symptoms) my doctor suggests that I get another MRI in 6-12 months, to see if the meningioma has grown.
Since “there’s nothing that should be done now”, I just don’t know what other questions to ask my doctor.
(This is my primary care physician, who I trust very much, so at this time, I don’t feel like I need to go see a specialist)
Any suggestions? Also, need ideas for coping with this emotional news. (I had the MRI to rule out something else, not related at all, so I was shocked when I got the news)
Thanks,
Robin T
