Re: More Brain Mets - New Plan Thoughts?
Courtney,
OK .....another round with this darned disease.
As always, your game plan sounds ideal. Talk about a triple punch.
You already know that there are a number of success stories for Gamma Knife from many on the board. I believe most will vote to use Gamma Knife and save WBR as a last resort. You have a proven track record with Tykerb so it seems wise to add that to the list. Now a final punch with Temador. I don't recall many discussions on the site about Temador. Can you elaborate more on pros/cons of that option?
Wishing your strength and a peaceful spirit as you move forward...blessings....Lori
