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.

I have been told that proton treatment will stop the tumor from growing and does not remove it. My surgeon has told me that mine Meningioma has to come out. I am scheduled for 2-14-24. Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you.
