It's only been since May 2024 that I completed the PRT. I've had one MRI since which has shown no change. PRT does not shrink or get rid of the meningioma. It's supposed to "stop it in its tracks" so to speak, in other words, keep it from growing by killing the cells. The meningioma remains there. Maybe, over time, it will shrink. I don't know. Will have another MRI in June for follow-up.
