marym Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi, After meetings among my doctors, it was decided to see if I can be treated without WBR for the time being. Although there are clearly 6 mets, they are planning to see if Tarceva combined with another chemo pill might be effective. They will use Radio Surgery for any brain met they feel need to be treated. I remain asymptomatic and feel really well. I am really pleased that my doctors went beyond just the nextstep in the play book. The nureo,radiation and thoracic all got together to decide what treatment I needed. The one item that would change the plan would be a new MRI that shows any additional lesions. That will be done after the holidays - but my plan is NO NEW METS! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
