Are any of you ladies familiar with the long term effects of WBR? My mom had WBR in 02/2003 followed by Gamma Knife in 04/2003. When brain mets appeared they told us she was terminal and the WBR would give her some time. We later found this sight and she was eligible for Gamma Knife. All went well and mom was doing reasonably well. She was walking, cooking, taking care of herself ect. In October she had her six month scan the tumors were gone and most of the brain swelling was gone. She now has holes in her brain where the tumors once were. Since the end of October mom has gone down hill significantly. The only thing she can basically do on her own now is feed herself. They say that there is no new cancer and aren't giving us any reason for such drastic decline. Is this a result of WBR? Will this continue? We don't really know what to do at this point. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
