Hi Vicky,
My response is probably far too late, and a decision has been made by now. However, in case your doctors haven't already done so, I would ask them to very carefully explain the long term side effects of WBR. They can be significant. I didn't have a choice (many many lesions, they didn't do an MRI on time. I still wish I could sue that doctor), but if I had had it, I would certainly have refused WBR with just one lesion.
All best,
Beatriz
