Meningioma
My friend is recently diagnosed with a benign tumor called meningioma- 1.7x1.2 cms.
She was experiencing severe headache for the past few months and had been for a consultation for the same. Doctor advised CT scan and it revealed this condition. We are worried so much about this, however only positive note is doctor is sure that it is not a cancer and he suggested that we wait for a period of 6 months to 1 year to observe the same. Can we not opt for surgery if results will be good.. We would want to take another opinion as we are confused. Pls advice. We would prefer in person discussions if the doc is from Bangalore. Thanks.
