I finished my treatments 2 months ago. I had 30 sessions ( keep in mind everyone dosage per treatment is different depending on area). Mine is sphenoid wing meningioma grade 2. I did really well. Some side effects I'm having: left ear plugged, pulsatile intermittent tinnitus ( noises in ear), and some pain on the radiation side. All normal as the brain recovers. I can work as before. I needed to saty home 2 weeks after I was done at Mayo because I did get some fatigue. I have cognitive fatigue (but not delay, which is different). I'll have my first follow up with MRI in February, so 3 months after completion of treatments. Overall, really grateful. Mayo is a great place to be for this treatment. I pray for the tumor to be in remission and no regrowth.
