Hi everyone and thanks for the replies

I hope I am doing this correctly

Well I had a CT scan and then an MRI, and it was confirmed yesterday that it is a Meningioma. According to the doctor it is most likely benign, but it is big, and that is why I have been having headaches.

I just wondered if anyone else has had a Meningioma removed sugically, and what thei experiences were with the surgery, recovery, etc

Yes, I have known some-one who had a meningioma surgically removed, but we no longer keep in contact because we both moved states, and keeping in contact just didn't happen .... even though we both had the best intentions. I'd like to tell you that he's doing well, but I can't, because I just don't know..

I did a quick search for you here on NeuroTalk, and apart from your own query, I did find some other threads/posts that discussed the same thing. I suggest you check them out to see if anyone else had similar concerns to your own.

Here's a link to that list :

I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to help you more, but I do hope some-one else will come along with more information than I've been able to.
