hannah...

I currently have progression of my brain mets. Have been dealing with them for over three yrs.

This last recurrance I experienced 24/7 dizziness with 'tipping over' events and some nausea during the worst spells...

I have used up my rad options so have been doing a chemo combo of Temodar/Xeloda. After the first two rounds, MRi showed nearly 50% shrinkage. My latest shows similar results. My new tumors are in cerrebellum, brain stem/pons, temporal and fronta.

In the past, I did have the Linear Accelerator to another brainstem/pons tumor which was successful. But, I do recommend and encourage you to get a referral for the CyberKnife. Best of luck to you. I know it's scary.
