Is there a brain surgery survivor who had a meningioma excised?


I've just had a cystic meningioma cut and scraped off of my brain
and dura membrane. The Doc says he got 98% of brain tumor
out. Thus there is 2% of tumor brain cells still hiding somewhere.
Approximately 2 billion. They are not visible to the eye. Doc says
tumor can grow back and this time be malignant. Has this been
the curse for anybody out there. Please reply in detail.

I'm sorry I do not know of anyone who's had this.
My suggestion is go to WebMD.com. Do some
searches there or contact them directly for help.
Will keep you in my daily prayers. God Bless.

My mom just had a baseball size meningioma removed about 2 months ago. They got it all out, but I found that meningiomamommas.org is the best site EVER for questions like this. There's sure to be someone on the discussion boards that is in the same boat as you! Report It
