I have an update! I had a virtual appointment last night at 9 pm (yes, you read that right) and the surgeon was awesome at explaining the findings from the scans.
He explained that there has been enough growth to warrant surgery but I could watch and wait if I wanted. There is quite a bit of bone around parts of the tumor and he said in very rare cases that indicates a different type of tumor, one that mimics a meningioma.
With that in mind, I'm opting to have surgery and do it at the end of April. There's no real urgency, but as he said, I can choose the time frame that works best for me. I'll get to take my daughter on her early graduation trip to Paris before the surgery and have those wonderful memories to get me through the recovery.
My coworkers have already looked at the policies of donating leave to me to prevent me from having to go without pay. My sisters both got the ok from their respective jobs that they can take time off as needed for appointments and such that I'll have.
And since there's more bone around the tumor than soft tissue, I'm renaming the tumor from Squishy to Spike. Gotta keep my sense of humor
