One day at a time My husband had brain tumor surgery, targeted radiation, more cancer, WBRT, and now tumor is back but too small for surgery and again scheduled for more targeted radiation. Just recently they found Primary is Lung, so that will be addressed after radiation. Each person handles it differently Right now he cannot walk, but Doctor said alot of issues you read about is blamed on WBRT He also has deterioring spine issues, he has HP, he has alot of other illnesses WBRT has made him a bit confused but not to the point of dementia issues, he still gets headaches, heard many dont, He just had his at end of Sept/first of Oct and we went on a few trips until a seizure stopped us in our tracks Seizure is probably from most recent tumor. He actually did well with the WBRT procedure, alot depends on health and positive attitude and taking it one day at a time. Thatis all anyone can do. His diagnosis before finding lung cancer was Stage IV Metastic brain cancer with Unknown primary I dont know if that changes the Stage of diagnosis as all this is new to us too.

Husband has been diagnosed as Stage 4 Untreatable Metasis Brain Cancer with Unknown Primary Just wondering how serious this is? some say it is, some say it isnt He just got through with 10 rounds of WBRT does anyone know much about this? I have heard bad things about it but doctor says it is very safe and side effects minimal... Need thoughts on both issues
