A member asked:

The results of my brain mri show i have a mass statistically related to a meningioma. what is the next step? does my gp tell me who to contact?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: If I were you I would call your GP as soon as tomorrow to set up your referrals, likely to a neurosurgeon/neurologist. Best of luck to you!
