missyk Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Mom got her MRI results today...and it really wasn't what we'd hoped for. The original met to the brain that she's had "zapped" by SRS all those months ago is back...and almost tripled in size so we're looking at more of a 3" tumor now. The dr's have essentially told her the only option is three months of wbr at twice the "normal" rads....or nothing. *sighs* Shock isn't even enough to cover it.

shineladysue Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Missy, I'm sorry to hear this news. Wish I had something to offer in the way of experience or information, but Mike never had brain mets. There are many here that have and perhaps some could share their experiences with you. God Bless. Love and Prayers, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sues Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes - I have no idea what else could have done this - had my first WBR today - wasn't bad ( was waiting to come out a blubbering idiot ) .I did get a little better news instead of 23 treatments ( 2 at a time ) I'm only getting 20 !! my rad dr consulted with the physists at the cancer center and they decided they could get this under control doing it this way. rather than causing more damage - mostly because there is only 1 they're dealing with.. It's the size and the fact that it's already been treated w/ SRS .They said only 10 -to 15 % of these come back after SRS.. MY luck has ALWAYS been like that !! I'm done boo-hooing at least for now - I'm back in the fight - thanks to the support from all of you. Again -THANK YOU ALL by the way the mispelled words are being blamed on the tumor -LOL sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
