my mom has bc w mets to brain and liver. had wbr. dr thinks that the tumors n the brain r probably dead cells, but she has symptons like headace, and nausea, and trble w vision and balance when they tried to wean her off the decadron. she takes 4mg of decadron every day to keep the symtpns away. dr has not said how long she will need to do this. brain mets found in sept of 03 been on decadron since then. now on navelbine/gemzar for liver mets. dr said that sometimes these tumors will swell becasue the brain is reacting against something that is in the brain that shldnt be there (the tumors) that is waht causes the synptons. we have asked about gamma knife and he said that maybe down the rd we can try that too.
