New to this
My brain mets were discovered in January. I had 7 small mets, all in the 2-4 mm range. The radiologist thought there was a strong liklihood there were more we couldn't see, so she recommended WBR. I had 15 treatments to wipe them all out. Next week, we're going to discuss Tykerb.
WBR and the decadron are pretty tough. You can search lots of stories on this site.
Take good care!
