Re: Has anyone asked for a test to be redone
Thank you all - I know brain mets can be controlled but mine happen to be in the lining which is more difficult. I saw my onc yesterday & they need to do wbr because there are 2 small lesions on the brain as well as the lining. I will be starting on Monday as I'm on high dose steroids & asymptomatic so they're ok with that. She's also referring me to a neuro oncologist who specializes in my particular case. So I'm starting to feel a little more hopeful about treating this. I'm so thankful I found you all - support means soooo much. Love, Gail
