What Are The Chances Of Survival From A Meningioma Removal Surgery ?
Thank you. I have surgery scheduled for removal of a tumor in my brain. my doctor says 90% chance it is Not malignant. Called it a menginoma and says it is about 2 inches in size. I'm 66 years old and have pretty good health but have been sedatary for a few years. Do you think my chances of survivial are good? From what I read, this surgery is ok for younger people but more risky for those older.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your worry, I would say that if you do not have any symptoms then why to think about the surgery medical management equally gives the same results and not bad if go for it, surgery have some risk and in my opinion it should be matter of concern, take care and have nice life.
