Excellent! Thank you for sharing your news. Sounds like you have a good set of doctors who are on your team.

I am just two weeks into having brain mets and want as much info. as I can get about how people are doing.

I am in whole brain radition right, finished 5 of 20 days.

I did hear about the possiblility of damage from radiation. Since I had two smallish mets that were asymptomatic, we chose to do a radiation of smaller doses over 20 days instead of 10 or 12 big hits of radiation as I was originally told to do. The radonc at Dana Farber thought that would be less damaging.

I hope your next MRI is good news.
