To whom it may concern.
It is common to have not only fatique, but also ear crackling noise, ringing , and headache for a breif moment. This can happen over a period of approx. a year or more depending on the size of tumors. It sounds like mom has alot of edema or water around the tumor areas. Takinking the steroid usually helps for a while...But when it's time to check her progress this steroid may be weened off very SLOWLY. Ask the Rad Onc. Let me know when you get resuts from the next MRI. tHIS RADIATION THERAPY WORKS OVER TIME. PATIENCE IS THE KEY...SOMETIME 6MOS TO A YEAR. mOM WILL BE WATCHED OVER TIME. BE BRAVE. HUGS Christine
