Emmay,
I am also in the middle of 3rd cycle of temodar treatment since early july 06. Finishing one year herceptin treatment today.I had two lesions in the right temporal frontal region discovered in early june this year. A peri-lesional oedema w minimal midline shift to the left.
Did WBR 20GY for 5 consecutive days immediately after the first CT scan.

In august, my 2nd CT scan shows marked improvement of the lesions post therapy.
The 1st lesion is gone/not seen. The 2nd lesion w central necrosis is markedly small in size w marked reduction of the perilesional oedema.

Doctors are very happy and the said it was due to the WBR.

Take care.
