Re: Would you do WBR a Second Time?? Advice ASAP Please
Joyce,
I know absolutely zero about brain mets but wanted to share with you this story I saw on GMA last week - it shows gamma knife successfully treating 24 tumors in the brain. The story is worth watching - it is so touching. I hope it provides you with some hope and maybe something to help with your decision.
Best of luck to your daughter. I am so sorry to hear that she is facing this once again.
