Amy T Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We discovered two mets to the brain yesterday. Docs want to do WBR in addition to lung and adrenal gland. Can anyone tell me what to expect for the radiation to any part of the body? This is our first experience with this. Dad is very healthy and made it through four rounds of chemo without much problem. (carbo and taxol). I guess I am anxious about his ability to resume somewhat of a normal life....Any info would be helpful! Thanks and many prayers to all of you.

Patti B Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi Amy- I have no first hand knowledge of WBR but wanted to take this opportunity to say I wish you and your Dad a successful treatment plan and I hope he feels better soon. Others will be along soon who can give you first hand knowledge of the radiation treatments. Hugs - Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi, Amy. There are many authoritative and current articles on WBR at another great site which a lot of us visit. The list starts here: http://cancergrace.org/google-search/?s ... br&start=0 Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
