Hello Cornish pasty and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

I can understand that fear of the unknown and what to expect can be very unsettling.

We don't have doctors here that can give a medical opinion about your condition. 

Treatment for meningiomas is dependent on whether they are low grade (slow growing) or high grade (fast growing). The doctors also take in to account where the meningioma is in the brain. You can read more about types of meningiomas on our website.

If you do have concerns about your operation then do discuss this with your team. They will have reviewed your case and decided that this is the best treatment moving forward but it is important that any concerns that you have are discussed.

You could always go and discuss this with your GP. Your GP should be up to date with any decisions that have been made at the hospital. 

If you would like to discuss this with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.

Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

All the best,

Catherine
