Hi Karla,
I understand your feelings and I experienced the same in July this year when I heard my cancer went to my brain (I also have lung mets, plus liver mets). I was given no choice but WBR, since my tumors were more than a dozen. I fought my best not to have WBR, but gave in at the last minute. During the WBR, I didn't take steroid, but boswellia and it went well. Now, right before Christmas, they told me 3 tumors grows back and they will schedule Gamma Knife for me. I have not talked to me doctor yet and don't know what to expect for Gamma Knife; I guess you have to take steroid as Barbara mentioned.

Barbara, your story is very encouraging.
Happy New Year everyone!

Grace
