Found out my TN is almost 100% from a tumor

MRI came back finally and I have a benign meningioma almost exactly on my right temple where the flairs happen. Which correlates, because I have annual MRIs and there was absolutely nothing there last January. TN pain began to show in mid July of last year, and this year, boom, tumor on display. Been referred to a neurosurgeon since the tumor is almost definitely the culprit for the TN. So looks like surgery is in my future. Don't know if I'm here sharing this in order to process and wrap my mind around it, or to advocate you should get an MRI, or what. Just know this is a great community, and you've all been good to me.
