Depends entirely: On size, rate of growth, and your symptoms. Without knowing details, it is impossible to say more. Consult a neurosurgeon with all details for specific answers to your questions.

Meningioma: The tumor becomes life threa, tening when it impinges on the breathing center of the brain. Likewise, it impinges on the crnial nerves and major blood vessels.
