Meningioma diagnosis
in Health ·
I'm starting this thread just to share my own story. Three months ago, I had surgery to remove a meningioma at Mayo Clinic with Professor Paladin. It was located right on the frontal lobe, but they got the whole thing out, and honestly, I haven't had any side effects at all. I’m getting ready for my follow-up now—just finished the MRI and everything looks solid. I still have two smaller ones I’m hoping to take care of with Gamma Knife toward the end of summer. I just wanted to tell everyone: a meningioma isn't a death sentence. As shocking as that diagnosis is when you first hear it, once you actually dig into the details, you realize things aren't nearly as bleak as they sound. Huge props to the entire neurosurgery team at Mayo; they truly go above and beyond for their patients.
