Al, I was told that any radiation to brain can cause the BBB to become 'leaky'... as well as the tumors themselves depending on location.
The fact that the Temodar/Xeloda combo has resulted in such shrinkage to the mets in my cerrebellum and brain stem is remarkable, I believe. But, I DID have lots of radiation, just not WBR.
It sounds like you have things well in hand, tho' I'm so sorry you and Linda have this new hurdle to face at all.
Keeping good thoughts, hoping for the best,
