Hugs, Karen PS**** Sheri, read the websites GD Pawel has referenced on HIS post. IT talks about WBR. READ!!!! READ!!! Don't assume. Mets HAVE been treated as large as 5-6CM WITH Stereotactic. Look at TRish in Florida. Her husband had Large tumors and 18 of them. He had SRS and they are ALL gone. NO sign of ANY cancer anywhere. What a blessing...

Thanks Ry. This is not good news. Sending up special prayers for Rich. Please keep us posted.. He is such a gentle and special person. Prayers said... Blessings, Karen

Thanks Stacey for sharing... Karen I love people who research and are knowledgable....

Fay, I will miss you more than I can say. Our talks were always so special and full of informative information. You are truly a special and unique person. Miracles do happen and I am praying that God graces you with one. You are a woman of so much courage and strength. I have so much admiration for you... Sending lots' of love and encouragement. God Bless and gentle hugs, Karen

Rich, I have to say I feel the same way. I have been through a LOT in my years and never really realized I was being carried to safety from harm, finances good and now my health. I give ALL the credit to God and never realized it though. I have loved Him all my life and never realized everything He has done for me. I do now, I have walked with HIm now consistently for 3.5 yrs. How did I survive without Him, can't explain that one. I never bleme Him for what I have been through. I keep a positive attitude and know I have beat the odds because of Him... Thank you for starting this thread. You are a very special person, Rich. God has truly blessed you too... God Bless, prayers and hugs, Karen

Sue, Prayers for you and Mike... Blessing and hugs too, Karen

Sheri/SLT, Please Please, read, read and research TOTALLY BEFORE WBR. Read my post in this Forum under WBR. It's your dad's life. Save HIM. I'm not a doctor, just a survivor who CARES. Read Leslie 221's experience with WBR, She was young and basically healthy. Too much Decadron and WBR... Blessings, prayers and hugs, Karen

I have tried to tell people about WBR, no one wants to listen. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dangerous. Doctors don't tell you EVERYTHING. I speak as a TWO time brain met LC survivor who DECLINED and was ADAMANT about NOT having WBR. I had stereotactic radiation After my surgery. First surgery was 4/2004 and most recent 2/2006. I still CAN function. The radiation Oncologist who tried to get me to have WBR was from City of Hope here in California. It's ALL about the money made. WBR time 10-15 treatments verses 1 Stereotactic treatment. One WBR times $2,000.00 times 10 to 15 =. One Stereotactic Radiation treatment times $3,000.00 times 1 time =. Plus it turns yo into a veggie in 4-24 months. Sometimes in less time. It fries the Whole Brain... I am NOT a doctor, this is my opinion. PLEASE, PLEASE RESEARCH. Do your HOMEWORK, doctors will tell you ANYTHING> THey call it PROTOCAL. LOL Enough said, ball is in your court... I want to LIVE!!! Blessings, Prayers and Hugs, Karen

Eppie, Since you mowed the lawn, maybe it's just allergies and not a cold. Maybe give you a little peace of mind... Prayers for your dad and you... Karen

Sending prayers... Prayers, blessings and hugs, Karen

Becky, Put a parachute in the backpack...
