Did you get a molecular diagnosis of your tumor tissue that was removed? That could be an indicator if a radiation treatment is immediately required or if it is better to observe for a while, especially if there are signs of encephalomalacia and gliosis. I would follow the advise of your neurosurgeon. They are usually more conservative when it comes to radiation treatment.

My neurosurgeon was in favor of radiation treatment from the beginning as the meningioma was WHO grade 2 atypical. I was the one who was initially reluctant. I got second and third opinions in favor of treatment.
