Rachel Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 In Jan I was going to head back to Or. for PCI but MRI showed 2 brain mets. So back to Or. for treatment. My Doc did full head radiation for 18 days and I will return in 2 weeks for Stereotactic radio surgery. The side effects aren't too bad. A bit of fatigue, very itchy & peeling forehead & scalp. Could be worse. My memory seems to be working so far! I am concerened about side effects from the stereotactic. Any comments would be greatly welcomed. 2 days after the surgery I will be flying to Florida to visit my parents & want to be feeling well for the flight. My best wishes, positive thoughts & prayers to all of you on this message board. This board truly helps me to keep my attitude up there. Rachel Quote

MO_Sugar Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Prayers and good wishes being sent your way. I had 15 days of PCI and fatigue was the worst side effect I had. A few days in Florida would have gone a long way to help that!! Have a wonderful trip! God Bless, MO Quote
berisa Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Rachel, my dad didn't experience Radiosurgery. But some here are very successful. I hope you have a very happy and memorable journey. Quote
