Dear "nvsavin",
This has always been the worst outcome after WBR. If the brain becomes permantly damaged, the outlook is not good.
This happened to Mr. gdpawel's wife. He has made it his mission over the past years to make people aware of what can happen... and the possible alternatives to treat the brain.
Your mom's neurosurgeon should speak to you and your mom and family frankly about what may lie ahead.
I continue to refuse WBR these past four yrs for my brain mets, yet even with the focalized rads I have had, there can be permanent damage done.
I am so very sorry if this is indeed the case for your mom.
You are good to be so supportive in these difficult times.
Has anyone talked to you or your family about hospice yet? They can be very helpful where available, from all I've heard.
Keeping you in thought and prayer,
pattyz
