Welcome @robineliza. Here is more information about meningiomas and proton beam therapy from Mayo Clinic.
- Meningioma https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meningioma/symptoms-causes/syc-20355643
- Proton Beam Therapy Program https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/proton-beam-therapy-program/home/orc-20185488

Treatment for a meningioma depends on many factors, including:
- The size of the meningioma and where it is.
- The rate of growth of the tumor.
- Your age and overall health.
- Your goals for treatment.

Have you discussed treatment options with your care team?
