A big Thank You to you Jojo and to all of you who replied or read my update. I thank you for your advic, prayers and good thoughts. I am schedled for a MRS(spectropu) August 17th to see if it gives the doctors more information whether this is a cancerous tumor or necros (which is my understanding, it takes a long time to resolve. ) If any of you have been in a fimiliar situtation where they over-radiatated your brain, I would be instested to know how long it took to get resolved and what doctors did.
My adice to all of you with brain mets is to be sure if you have a re-occurence of brain mets, especially in the same area to bet a biopsy done if it all possible before they radiate area again or ask for an MRS, different from MRI. I also have been talking to Christine D. who also went throught a similiar experience and she has been wonderful to say the least. I will keep all of you in my prayers and with this disease, se can all use them. God bless you. Feel free to e-mail me at
hetrahan@aol.com if you so wish.
