Wanted to thank those who responded to my prior e-mail regarding symptoms I was having. Several said to push for an MRI of my brain. Symptoms were becoming alarming and my husband called the doctor, MRI was ordered for that evening and I got the results two days later. Bad news! "Too many tiny lesions to count", several tumors 1.5 to 2+ centimeters, located in cerebellum and cerebrum, etc.
Had first WBR radiation treatment today. My onc tried to be optomistic and said this would take care of it. Radiation onc said this is "a lot of lesions". But no choice according to the onc my time would be short without the treatments and steroids. No feeling to optomistic. Husband is a very postitive optomistic person but is not doing well as he has read a lot on the expected outcome, median survival, etc.
I know many on this board have battled brain mets but anyone have "too many to count"?
