Benign. It's a good word, right?

And as far as tumors go, meningioma is a pretty darn good one as well.

WHO Grade 1 - yeah, I like that phrase as well.

All three were part of my pathology report. Woo hoo! Party all around!

And yeah, 90% of all meningiomas are WHO Grade 1, which by definition means benign, but there's still that 10%. And then they weren't 100% sure that it even was a meningioma - that has to be determined by testing and it's kinda hard to do a biopsy with a brain tumor. It certainly looked like the happy type of tumor - I mean, compare my last MRI with the example of a benign meningioma on Hopkins' website:

But getting the official report is even better!
