Is There Any Treatment For Meningioma Brain Tumor Other Than Surgery?
Hello I was recently diagnosed with meningioma brain tumor, located in the left external convexity the size is 20 mm. Is surgery the only option? I ve been smoking medical cannabis for over 3 years, I stop for 1 month and it was the first time I presented symptoms so I make the test and knew that I had a tumor. Can I continue smoking or does it affect the tumor in any way?

meningioma cant be treated by medicine.
Many times it can remain silent withiut problem for many years. But if its causing problem, need treatment. And it can only be treated by surgery.
I not advice you to continue smoking
