    Hi there. I think you'll find you have very little to fear. In most cases this condition is benign. Work with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Good luck.

    So sorry to hear that Caterina. Finding anything on your brain must be terrifying....But the good news is that meningiomas (especially ones that are already calcified) are not cancerous. Your prognosis is very good, your doctor will likely remove them and you will not have to worry about anything or further treatment like chemo, radiation. stay strong, I truly believe you will be okay and be able to put this scary incident behind you soon!
