Update
Yay! Thanks to an unexpected cancellation today, mom was able to see the ( excellent) neurosurgeon today instead of next month. The tumor is a menengioma, almost surely benign, and may have been there for 20 years. Slow growing. Surgery isn't worth the risk at all and not needed. Either watchful waiting with regular MRIs, or Gamma Knife, which is a single high dose of targeted radiation.
Ok, so two weeks ago this would be bad news, but at the moment we are all thrilled.
