Anyone had Proton Beam Therapy for Meningioma?

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.

Thank you for your reply. I also hope & pray there is no growth or regrowth of your tumor. I also hope your side effects will eventually all resolve as well!! Sounds very good that you feel you’re back to work as before. Like you said we have different tumors in different places but overall encouraging. Thank you for responding to my questions. Best to you as you continue to recover!
