Re: whole brain radiation
Thank you Lizabeth for all the info. I forwarded this to my friend. The trial sounds like something she would qualify and one of the locations is Michigan which would be doable for her.
Sdgirl...I am so sorry you are suffering also. I hope that this information sharing on this board can help you with next steps also.
KsGal...love the bluebird. We had a female and male nest in our yard last summer. I thought it was a sign of good luck. They were so fun to watch.
