Recap: recurrance in Nov.2004. Spot on Lungs, two nodes. Routine MRI showed 2 tumors on Brain. Dec. gamma knife blew the two mets to smitherines. By April, chemo had poisened the lung and node mets out of existance. Routine MRI at the same time showed 12 more mets to brain, all small (largest 9MM). Started WBR immediately, 15 treatments. Not that terrible. I tollerated it quite well. No decadron as the MRI showed no swelling and the radiologist said I could go without it unless I felt I needed it. NO WAY!!!! So no sideeffects from that to deal with. Now I am just waiting for the follow up MRI the week of August 15 to find out if there is anything else left of the mets. I hope not, as it will mean more gamma knife. It is scary to me when I hear about the people who had a met slip and paralize them. I hope that won't be me.
I will let you know what the news is in a couple of weeks.
