Lyn, this is why I wanted you "armed" with lots of information

Not only is there conventional radiation therapy, but cyberknife/gammaknife, but also surgery. All have good track records IN PREVENTING PROGRESSION OF NEUROLOGIC TROUBLES (AS WELL AS REGAINING SOME NEUROLOGIC FUNCTION WHEN TREATMENT IS NOT OVERLY DELAYED)

Show them the articles posted if they are stubborn and tell them if they are oncologists or radiation therapists "WORTH THEIR SALT" they should seek out outside opinions if necessary, get together and discuss your case as a team and present you with a game plan.

Many oncologists think that palliation is all you can do for any Stage IVs "since they cannot be cured" TEACH THEM SOMETHING!
