Hi, I have been recently been diagnosed with a meningioma that requires surgery. I know it is important to be as fit as possible for this and I could do with some advice on the kind of diet to help me. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

  • Hello Katdan

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's likely to be a worrying time for you at the moment but it sounds from your post that you're trying to remain positive and prepare yourself so that you are as well as can be before treatment starts which is great. 

    We have some information about meningioma on our website along with information about preparing for treatment which includes details about diet. Hopefully, this will help answer some of your questions but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    I hope that your surgery progresses smoothly Katdan. Do post again if you have any further questions or if we can be of further support. 

    Best wishes,
