Right,

As you all know my girlfriend had a solitary 4 x 3.5cm Brain Met completely resected 8 weeks ago. We had been waiting for an SRS boost to the resection bed.

12 days ago my Girlfriend had the MRI Scan for planning for the SRS. Last week we spoke to her Onc and said the scan was all OK. There was some bruising/hematoma in the resection cavity, but this was to be expected.

This morning we was told that the SRS boost had been rejected as they feel felt the tumor had recurred where the tumour was before and it is too big to treat with Gamma Knife. Stunned is a understatement.

This afternoon the neurosurgeon who resected the brain met looked at the scan. He thinks it is cyctic/hematoma. There is a MDM meeting on Friday to decide what to do. It looks like it could be resection again.

My girlfriend is destroyed. Can't believe you can have such conflicting info in 1 week.

Preying it isn't a recurrence.
