Did Ragini have a triple dose, very thin slice MRI??? That shows down to just 2mm in size. If it is smaller than that, I would wait until it CAN be seen with frequent follow-up MRIs.

Then I would have Stereotactic Radiosurgey, avoiding WBR as long as concievably possible.

I had a small 2mm size tumor on my brain stem that had increased to 4mm by the time of my procedure without experiencing symptoms.

I know this is terribly frightening for you all... you probably know I have had THREE SRS procedures treating a total of TEN brain mets. I am now waiting to have a CyberKnife procedure to treat my remaining four brain mets, which are all nearing 1cm in size. And my first dx with brain mets was 17+ months ago.....

sending you all hope and hugs,
