Whew! Now it is all over but the shouting, so to speak. Getting through this Day of Decision is a BIG one and takes a lot of the pressure off. Your plan of attack is set and there is no turning back.
When I had a discussion early this year about brain mets, my med onc said he prefers WBR in aggressive tumor patients for just the reason your team recommended. He did not seem worried that I might be in that position one day - that there is treatment and not to worry about it - just call him if I have any INKLING of a symptom.
We have pretty good understanding about not going too long between brain MRI's.
And you WILL have hair - my friend who had WBR got hers back, it was a little wirey for a while, but got manageable.
Keep up that lovely attitude and smile.
