Hi I'm a 45 year old mum of 3 beautiful young girls and have been recently diagnosed with Meningioma after having an MRi scan for other problems I have to go for another scan but with contrast next time. My initial scan was on 18th August with results the following week I feel in limbo at the moment as I haven't had an appointment yet for the 2nd scan my Gp cannot tell me how long people are waiting for scans due to Covid. But I feel scared and nervous and the thought of another scan fills me with dread. I'm so worried what the future holds.
