Many women here have been diagnosed with mets to their brain. I, personally, had 7-20 smaller ones. Since there were so many in so many places, I wasn't "eligible" for spot radiation treatment. Therefore, I underwent Whole Brain Radiation. My particular treatment was everyday for 21 days (weekends off). That was almost 2 years ago, and so far no recurrences.
I've also had recurrences of liver mets. 3 years ago, I had about 25% of my liver involved. Then after several types of chemo, although I still have SOME lesions in the liver, it is much better than before.
As for hope, don't ever give up. Definitely ask your mom's doc about brain radiation. And keep us posted.
Love and light,
Lisa
