Hi from San Antonio BC Symposium -
You are right to keep asking questions. Maybe if your Mom is too debilitated to take WBR now you can first start out with Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for the piece that is left and any other that show up in the brain MRI.
It is an easier treatment and will offer her time to recover from her debilitated condition and seek further brain radiation later.
A short course WBR may be recommended by your rad onc.
It sounds like your Mom has not ben getting Herceptin. Please insist that she does get Herceptin. Weekly dosage may be best - depends on when and what is picked up on the PET scan. Herceptin has been noted to halt tumor progress in many women. Keep in touch with our message board and post whenever you like.
Hugs,
Christine
