Hi

I am new hear. 

Needless to say my world has turned upside down. Not only for me but my partner.

He has been diagnosed with Meningioma benign - he is set for surgery soon

Is there anyone here who has been or is in the same boat? 

Any success stories please.?....

Thank you and best wishes to all 

  • Should be plenty out there. The meninges are on the surface of the brain rather than buried in the deeper and more critical structures. There is always a risk with neurosurery, but as brain tumours go, this is a good diagnosis. Some googling I'm sure will provide more good news stories

  • Hi Bee1956

    a warm welcome to the online community. Sorry to hear about your partner's diagnosis. No diagnosis is nice, they are all scary but benign is definitely a positive here. 

    My personal experience  lies in supporting my late husband through the three years of his stage 4 brain tumour journey so an entirely different scenario.
