Hi all, have been doing my researach, but would like any inno you have. I have a 3.6cm brain met in the cerebullem that was actually there in Jan. 04 by MRI, was stated as being a 1cm avascular malformation (AVM) by radiologist, onc didn,t look at films or pick up on reportsaid all okay!
Consult for cberknife was last Wed. in OKC,OK. radio-onc said would have been no risks in Jan-Feb, but now w/ increased size, more risk for swelling~30%. She tookm it before tumor board and thier 1st recomendation was surgery, for best tx, 2nd cyberknife.
I had pericardial effsion 2 wks. ago and the path came w/ BR CA cells/clumps in fluid so we have to aget on it ASAP. Brain surgery could delay my chemo fo 3-4 weeks. I see a onc for consultation on 10/25/04. I want my best options and I PLAN TO LIVE & have a good life even battling this.
Any responses will be appriciated. Will be leaving this afternoon for 1 nt. at Branson, Mo w/ hubby & 2 friends, be back on Sun.
P.S. Also, cked Kansas City cyberknife at Menorah Hosp., couldn't get an appt. til 11/04/04, they just started this wk, anyone know of them -my daughter lives there. HUGS,vELVA
