Re: Really bad Brain MRI

Good luck. I think they always make things worse when they tell you about 'potential' side effects. If you were to read the list iboprufen side effects you would be scared. Lots of people had gamma knife on this site this is the best treatment you can have for brain met shoot them all and hold on tight on onto the rocky road, i feel your pain, breathe deep. also I use sleeping tablets i figured that it is worth it.
