I have a meningioma brain tumor and my doctor recommended surgery what's the best treatment plan for this? I want to make sure I get the most effective care possible

My dad's MRI report shows some issues and while he doesn't have much pain right now, he feels unsteady when doing activities like jogging. The doctors are recommending surgery soon but I'm wondering if we can wait two months to see if there's any improvement or if surgery is really urgent. Are there any non-surgical options to help strengthen his muscles instead?

I've been dealing with back pain for a month now due to L34 and L5S1 discs indenting the thecal sac. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other treatment options I could try first
Given your doctor recommended surgery for L34 and L5 S1 disc indenting the thecal sac, it's understandable to be concerned about your back pain. While surgery is an option, it's crucial to explore all available conservative treatments before making a final decision. Conservative approaches like physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle adjustments might offer significant relief and potentially avoid surgery.
