Meningioma: Getting ready for radiation, any tips or advice?

Thank you for your post. I am really concerned as mine is a grade 3. Meeting with the radiologist oncologist tomorrow. Worried that radiation is the next step and don’t know what to expect but I am fearful as I understand that radiation can harm healthy cells as well. I want to have faith but am struggling.

I just finished radiation therapy SRS with a linear accelerator. They pin point the tumor and the surrounding tissue is protected (supposedly), and I trust that is true with all the research I did. I have a stage 1 meningioma and it was growing. I waited 4 years living with the anxiety. I am tired and have a headache but grateful I had the option. SO far I am doing ok. will keep you posted.

I am very afraid as well. I am trying to stay busy so I don't think about it. When my brain tumor was found, everything was a rush to take care of it. I don't remember much of anything that happened at that time and the following week. I pray daily to St. Lucy, patron saint for eyes and St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of hearing. I have put everything in God's hands and remind myself He will not give me more than I can handle. God is with you! He will see you through it all. Things may not turn out how I hope, but I surrender to His Will, not mine. Blessings on you!
