Is Meningioma Brain Tumor Curable?
Have a brain tumor meningiama that s into my brainstem and my pons and is surrounding my Bassler artery and my carotid artery. It is mostly on the left but is venturing off into the right. The tumor is 5.5x5.2x3.5. A little over a centimeter growth in 7 months. I am thinking I should get my affairs in order. Is there any reason I should have hope?

Hello,
Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. If a tumour spread to adjacent structures, surgery may not be possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
