marsha Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Good news, There was only 1 brain met and it was treated by the gamma knife to be followed by wholehead radiation starting next Wednesday. The radiologist said I would be around for sometime. This was very treatable. I felt marvelous. Other than a sore head I'm up and about and feel good. While they did the gamma knife surgery I had them put on my polka and waltz tapes. They thought it was cool. Well I have a real whole in my head and four spots where they had to put a shield so I guess you could say I'm an airhead.

Bonnie Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hi Marsha....that is GREAT news!!! We all need a little sunshine in our lives at one time or another. My husband was dx with NSCLC 11/02. So far he has done wonderful. I really feel the medical community is right on the verge of finding a cure for this monster. May God bless you and your family.
