Hi, Kris,
I'm sorry to hear they think it is met, but the good thing is that there is not met characteristcs, so it might not be, and this is a hopeful possibility. It is good though that your oncologist want to do something right away. I think Gamma knife is a good choice for you. Your oncologist is great, I'm so happy he is guiding you and on top of things for you. Hang in there.
About Pet scan, I also had one in June 2010, it did not show any mets, and I thought my brain was clear. Then one radiation oncologist said that brain mets does not show on PET scan. Did you know that?
I'm having Xknife for the 3 tumors next Wednesday,
so we will both hold hands and walk through this together. Count on me. I will let you know how everything goes with me.
Love,
KarlaV.
