Hi,


I too had Gamma Knife in August for a single 11mm brain met, but the doctors didn't give me any decadron. I was surprised at this because alot of the ladies on this board had mentioned getting it when they had radiosurgery for brain mets. I was just curious, what size was your met? I'm thinking maybe it has to do with size, location, and whether you had any symptoms from your met or not. I'm really sorry that you have to deal with this. I always hated the decadron when I got it with my chemo. I took it the day before every treatment, the day of, and the day after. I did this every week for 8+ months, and it was sooooo nice to stop! I know this doesn't answer your question, but I just wanted to send a little support your way. This board is the first place I always come, when I need answers or just some understanding souls to let me vent!

You are in my thoughts, Kim in CA
