2nd opinion: Sounds like an excellent plan, Susan.


The MRi done prior to any type of rads for brain mets is more specific, ie. using triple contrast and much smaller 'slices' of pics. This is the one that often shows more than the 'regular' MRi, and did in my case.

HOWEVER, if it does show more, they will be of small size and should not add too much to your total volume.

No matter what treatment plan you choose, it is ALL scary with brain mets.... but I have found that once again, most of my fears were unnecessary.

With your brain mets being small, I hope and do think, this will be what you find, too...

more good wishes,
