I'm not certain what has happened in your situation. I gather from your question that you have had a meningioma removed. Meningiomas are generally benign and very slow-growing, and sometimes can be left where they are without much change for many years. Under certain circumstances, it is advisable to remove one. Perhaps that was the case with you.
Without knowing more about your specific circumstance, it is hard to advise you on the probability of regrowth. The appearance under the microscope, as reported by the pathologist who processed the tumor after it was removed, might give some clue. Some types of meningiomas have more of a tendency to grow back than others.
