Re: Need some feed back from other stage IV sisters

I don't have spinal mets, I do have brain mets and had whole brain radiation. I am having difficulties with my memory and concentration and communicating. I have difficulty when I am talking finding the right words, and often I forget what I am trying to say. I was told this was damage from the whole brain radiation.
I would also take Elaine's advice and see if you can get in to see a good urologist. Im so happy Hema is showing improvement, but Im sorry you are still dealing with these issues. Many prayers for you and Hema.
