Thank you for your post. Mayo also recommended 28 Proton treatments on my cavernous sinus meningioma also. Did you have any cognitive deficits? Pituitary problems? I’m checking with MD Anderson to see if they recommend the same. But I feel confident that Mayo’s program is great. Where did you go for your Proton treatments?

As an update- I’m having treatment #8 today of Proton Radiation at Mayo in Rochester MN. The treatments are going well and no significant side effects as of yet. There are two Meningiomas they are treating & one just watching. They believe mine to be grade 1.
I find this site encouraging - and I appreciate all comments- esp Pat22. Best to all as we travel and maneuver our same and yet different roads.
