My wife has metastatic breast cancer (metastasis diagnosed in 2000). Upto now the metastasis has been confined primarily to bones. Last May, she had an MRI done of her brain which showed a lesion but was diagnosed as a benign meningionoma (confirmed by two sets of radiologists). She was complaining of headaches over the last couple of days, so we decided to do a head MRI as a precaution. The 'benign meningionoma' had more than doubled in size (now 4.5 cm x 3 cm x 3cm)and has oedema. They say for a tumour of this size, the only real option is surgery, which obviously scares us to death.
Is there anybody out there who has undergone surgery for brain metastasis? What has your experience been, and what was your post-operative treatment regime? Any advice, suggestions much appreciated.
Regards
Raj
