Re: Need your Help/Advice - Got Dx with Brain Met
Hi, Kris,
I'm so very sorry for your news, I 'm going through the same the same thing right now. Hang in there.
I decided against WBR, and tried to do just gamma knife, but the radiation oncologist said the tumor was too big, and could cause problems, inflammation with the Gamma, so he sent me to a neurosurgeon, then I saw another neurosurgeon, and I also send my CD Scan to Stanford, because I wanted to do the Cyberknife instead, and they said I should have it removed before doing Cyberknife. I have 2 tumors, cerebellum 2.8cm, and occiptal lobe 1.9cm, and the neurosurgeon will remove both this week, then gamma knife the 3r one 4mm, and the tumors bed in 2 weeks.
I hope you can get just the Gamma knife, but I suggest you to send your cd scan to different places that does different SRS, before making the final decision.
Hugs and prayers,
KarlaV.
