Velva,
I am going in the opposite order, I had WBR first. I was really terrified...just about loss of brain cells etc. I can tell you that after one month of being finished asside from tiredness and mild nausua I feel really good. I just a talk with my onc. she was adament from the beginning that I would need WBR her reasoning was that if there was two there more waiting to pop up. She believes that the THC chemo is so effective for some of us preventing spreads to bodily organs and getting us to NED that the place where it can easily pop up is in the brain....due to it not being able to cross the blood brain barier. She has heard talk of doing preventitive WBR due to the high number of patients like us that are getting brain mets with otherwise healthy bodies. I was also told that my hair will not go back ... I lost all of it again except for little tufts here and there. I was extremely depressed about this at the beginning...but I look at my kids and figure oh well. I am still crossing my fingers to be one that gets some hair back!!! Hope you are doing well, alicia
