Accepted Answer

Your doctor's advice: Did you ask your doctor as to what it all means? You should be seeing a nurologist or a neurosurgeon to guide you for the future as meningiomas can be slow growing tumors which can cause problems if they grow beyond a certain size. Then surgical removal(excision) may be required. So remain connected with a specialist for a few years till the problem has been resolved.

Accepted Answer

Brain tumor: The only persons that can discuss this with you are the doctors who are caring for you - clinician and/or surgeon.

worried - brain mri w/out contrast 18 mo ago did not mention anything but recent ct w/contrast says possible small arachnoid cyst in anteriomedial frontal lobe. could this be a tumor that grew since then?

Accepted Answer

: Arachnoid cyst are benign, meaning not a cancer. They are not uncommon. Sometimes because of location and size they can cause symptoms. Sometimes if they are small they may not be mentioned on reports. Please talk to your PCP and let the radiologist compare both the scans to confirm it was there before.

should a dr take action to have a driver's license removed for a 65m with sclc with 3 tumours in brain including brain stem and frontal lobe?

It depends: Patients with brain tumors are at risk for having Seizures but not all of them develop seizures..about one in 4 patients does. In such patients it is dangerous to drive an automobile. In others it is optional. The doctor can only educate the patient about the risks but the family and the paient has to use their judgement and be responsible for self and public safety.
