Hi Gerri! Your friend is so lucky to have you on her side. I'm no expert, but I'm wondering why they referred her straight to the neurosurgeon. Wouldn't some sort of targeted radiation treatment be the first thing to try? Maybe I missed something in your post. Maybe the testing indicated that WBR wasn't necessary either. I would want that to "hit" any possible microscopic met. cells in the brain and the visible lesion, and then, if necessary a gamma or cyber knife treatment.
