Benign tumors: You will be fine, majority of brain tumors are malignant you should be happy yours is benign , they are on the surface of brain remarkable progress has been made in safety of cranial surgery, speak to your neurosurgeon , will alleviate all your fears, good luck.

Talk to surgeon: These are benign lesions but can recur. Complications depend on where they are and the competency and experience of the surgeons removing them. A 3cm lesion is usually small enough to be relatively easy to remove but if it is in the medial sphenoid wing it can be attached to the internal carotid artery or optic nerve. An olfactory groove meningioma can leave you without the sense of smelll.
