RE: Menigeoma

I had been experiencing joint pain for over 6 months and in December the doctor precribed 5mg of predisone 3 times a day. I started taking the predisone on Dec 18th and on Dec 20th I started to have a very strange sensation which I thought was a reaction to the drug. I was feeling dizzy and my legs seemed weak. I went to the emergency room and I was admitted because they felt that the symtoms could be neurological. I had a MRI the next day that showed I had a small menigeoma on the left side of the brain. It was very much a found by coincidence. I was discharged the next day and asked to follow up with a neuro surgeon. In the mean time I had sort of what felt like head fog. Almost like I was disconnected. I went to see the surgeon and he first suggested that we monitor the tumor, but the next week they called and said that it should be removed. So I went and sought another opinion. I had another MRI and they did a comparison. This surgeon said that my symtoms were not related to the menigeoma and in his opinion it should just monitored over the next three months :'(. I am somewhat confused. I am back at square one because I am still experiencing the dizzy sensation. What steps should I take now? Since I am merely the patient and rely on the professionals to help me make the right decision.
