Jennifer,
Hi, my name is Heather and I had Whole brain radiation in Sept. and it did not do anything to the tumor. I talked to my Onc. and he suggested have surgery in Nov. I also have had more problems with the radiation then the surgery as Mary Colleen husband. I still have my issue of being tired, my head hurts(my skin), and loss of appetite. The only problems I still have from the surgery is a little speech issues and sometimes understanding with numbers. It hasn't been long since everything has happened but I feel the surgery was the thing to do. I could have done without whole brain radiation. If you have any question just ask if I did not make any since.
