Mary,
I found your post most encouraging, regarding your doctors treatment protocal preference. I am taking the liberty to repost it here as it is important information IMO. Thanks! pattyz

I don't know where you are located, but I live in Cincinnati, OH and the Barrett Cancer Center is where I had mine done - it's called stereo tactic radio surgery here and it's very effective when the mets are small and few. The doctors here try not to do whole brain radiation unless absolutely necessary. They also have a website if you search for "Barrett Cancer Center"

I know San Diego has a great facility as well. Hope this helps.

Ijust saw this post. Thanx. My daughter lives in Cincinnati! I live in NJ. Will have to catch up with post. Need all the info I can get.
