Re: Mets to Brain
Hi i've had mets to the brain.10 in total then i had wbr 21 shots with vmat radiation i had some shrink and one go and then six weeks later they grew back with two new ones. I've been on tykerb and xeloda for 3 months i just had a mri and now i have the three mets the largest is 17mm, 8mm,6,mm huge huge huge improvement and no new ones and very little edema. There is always hope and i believe i will get rid of mine.
The wbr does break down the blood brain barrier which helps the drug do there job.
Stay strong.
Jacqui
