There are many on this board who have survived brain mets. Please go to our Brain Metsathesis page: http://www.her2support.org/a/newher2_002.htm
for tons of information.

Please read the paper which we published last June for the ASCO meetings. Click on the box on the lower right hand side of the page. I would suggest printing the page and give a copy to your oncologist.

Actually, Gamma Knife is the preferred treatment, followed by whole brain radiation..surgery is only used as a last resort if the tumor is too large.

Warmest Regards
Joe
