angelofcharlie20 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi There, Just wanted to throw this out there to see what feedback I can get. My father has been on Decadron to control the headaches that he has had that are caused by his brain mets. He had gammaknife a couple of months ago but we're not going to get his follow up MRI until later in the month. My father told me that he still takes the Decadron for his headaches. I'm worried that the gammaknife may not have worked considering he's still experiencing the headaches or could this be an indication of new mets? Anyone have experience with this? Thoughts? Feelings? Thanks in advance, Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Wish I could help, but my mom did not have headaches until just recently. Wish I had something but I don't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofcharlie20 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi There, Just wanted to let everyone know that I asked my Father's med oncologist this question and she said that the continued headaches is not an indication that the gammaknife did not work. She said that some people continue to experience headaches even after the head is clear. Bye now, Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
