I had a Grade 2 Oligodendroglioma. In my case they suggested no treatment, but I do have to have a MRI every 3 months forever
I had a grade 2 meningioma and the neurosurgeon referred me to the radiation oncologist, who decided that “I could do more harm than good” and 8 years later the MRI’s are still clean. But from something else that he said, I think the radiation oncologist might have decided differently if they had had the proton therapy equipment. (The center was waiting for the newest equipment to be installed. )

I did not have any radiation afterwards.
