Hi, I had a craniotomy and resection of petroclival meningioma in May 2022 but as attached to brain stem it can’t be fully removed. Due to minor growth and change of shape I am having radiotherapy starting on 22nd for 6 weeks, Monday - Friday, what has been other peoples experience? They say possible hair loss, nausea, loss of appetite and tiredness - did anyone experience these side effects - if so how bad and did it begin straight away? Be interested to hear views , thanks.
