I Was Recently Diagnosed With A Meningioma - Benign Brain

I was recently diagnosed with a Meningioma - Benign Brain Tumor. It is in the Right Temporal Lobe and is 3.1 x 3.9 in size. Dr's said it is slow growing but are recommending surgery. Is this small on the size chart for brain tumors? I had gone to the Hospital for a Video EEG as I was having episodes which they noted to be partial seizures. They ordered an MRI which is where they found the small Mass in the Meninges. I have not met with the surgeon yet but will be meeting with the Neurologist and the Surgeon. They put me on medication for seizures Trileptal.
