Re: Really bad Brain MRI
Hi Jacqui
What can I say you poor girl. So glad you are going for Gamma knife mine was very successful but I have developed necrosis which is very rare with Gamma & unfortunate so my right side is affected causing me problems but at least no progression in the brain. Other tumours stable at the moment. Gamma is quite straight forward and easy so dont worry about that and they can zap them all. They will give you an MRI of the brain when you are there. Sorry but you will need steriods for a bit.
Looking forward to hearing some good news soon on your Pet scan.
Lots of love to you all.
