Proton or photon radiation for meningioma

Posted by subee @subee, Jun 25 12:12am

Please share experience with proton or photon radiation.
I had type 2 right parietal meningioma. Surgery was successful but a small bit of tumor left along sagittal vein has grown a very small amount. I need to make a decision on type of radiation. I’d be very grateful to hear people’s experiences with radiation. What type & why? After effects? Fatigue? Hair loss? What else do I need to know?
Thank you

Yes, the mask was intimidating to begin with, but as with many things you learned to manage.

Haven't been on recently due to another seizure. Have had many in past weeks. This last one is making it hard to come back from.
