Depends: On size, location and symptoms. Your neurosurgeon should help devise a plan of follow up imaging to meet your needs.

Actually I would men: Mention. When you are first diagnosed with a brain tumor (possibly a meningioma) you need to be followed fairly regularly because we are not totally sure it is a benign slow growing meningioma. So... In the beginning every 6 months is ok. Once you have determined the lesion is not growing fast, then you can extend the followup period to 1-2 or even more years.
