Christine Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Joan, During an MRI it was discovered that my mother had mets in the lining of her brain. The doctor said it wasn't actually a tumor by definition. Since she had already received WBR she wasn't a candidate for chemo. Her radiologist treated her with radiosurgery using the Novalis machine. Hope this helps. Wishing you the best. Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanie55 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi, I realized that I had not updated with what I decided with this little mess. Well, Monday, I did start WBR treatments. There will be 10 treatments, getting Christmas and New Years off. They are fast and easy, just hopefully will work. I wake up everyday looking for any symptoms. So far, so good. I know they are commulative, but need to take care of this for now and worry about everything else later. Wishing everyone here a wonderful holiday season.
