Hi Everyone,
I'm so frustrated after reading all this. I was dx with brain mets in November. I had sudden onset symptoms of severe headache and vomiting and had to go to the emergency room. After an MRI I was told my only option was WBR and I had to start that day because of my symptoms! I had only four mets but was told they were in four separate locations and targeted radiation was not possible. In reading everything here I see that perhaps I might have had another option. I'm currently on Tykerb/Xeloda/Herceptin. My one month MRI after WBR showed largest tumor shrunk by more than 50%. I don't know if they are expected to continue to shrink with the Tykerb/Herceptin/Xeloda. I think on my next rad onc visit I will and med/onc visit I will inquire more about targeted radiation to zap whatever is left. I was NED prior to this reoccurence for about seven months. I appreciate any advice anyone has to give.
