Flyman35 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well we did the radiation planning CT today and they made a mold of his shoulders and head. Tomorrow will be the MRI of the brain to check for mets. Tom will go for chemo round 6 on Tuesday. Provided there are no mets to the brain we are all set for Radiation to start on Wednesday. Although I think that is just a dry run. I read that somewhere in the paper work that there is a dry run before they start to make sure they have everything aimed properly. Yes? Since there are no signs that I see that would make me think there was anything there in the brain I feel pretty confident that we are a go. Not that I am looking for trouble but has anyone had mets to the brain with no obvious signs? Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebygeeby Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Denise, I hope that Tom is good to go with the radiation. I really don't know anything about brain mets, but my Dad had neck cancer a few years again and was treated with radiation for it. Yes, they do a dry run to make sure everything is properly set up to go. Hang in there Denise, I know the stress you are feeling, you're doing a great job! Wishing you and Mr. Tough Guy all the best Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb10653 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good Luck with this Denise, I have no experience with brain mets but know several people that have had radiation and there was a "dry run" but in my mom's case with breast cancer they did the real run the same day...everyone is differnt.
