I urge anyone with a single brain meningioma to research Proton Beam Radiation. One of the Mayo Clinics has that treatment. I had it in Bloomington, Indiana 6 years ago with absolutely clear followup MRI's every year since. When you research, pay attention to the Bragg Peak phenomenon - the radiation goes no further than the tumor (unlike the Cyber and Gamma Knife treatments) I am on Medicare with Anthem BC BS supplement and it was totally covered. My tumor was up against the brain stem. The linear accelerator in Bloomington was aging and that facility was closed. My husband and I refer to our time as "one of our best vacations". I felt good the entire time.
