HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - PSA: Get your brain scanned

Someone on the breastcancer.org site just got SRS for 17 (19?) lesions instead of WBR. They are doing SRS for more than ten. It's your head. Lots of people do WBR but you are young. I would keep interviewing docs. She had to and is getting less.

Where do you live Annette? Maybe we can help.
