Have Any African American Women Had 10 Or More Whole Brain Radiation? Treatments?

I am scared to death and not sure if whole Brain Radiation can only be done once in a lifetime.

Have they told you how many brain Mets that you have?

They also have some methods to use for lower brain metastasis of 1-4 that are mentioned on Pub Med.

You will be able to get through all this with prayers and the love of your family.

Know too that we all send our love and support and that women on here that you have never met care about you and are here for you to talk to at any time.

Much love and blessings.

I definitely will seek a 2nd opinion.

Sheila I am wondering if you really do mean whole brain radiation and not just targeted radiation. My radiologist has told me that he will not do whole brain radiation and doesn't believe in it. From reading your story, it sounds like you need to fire your oncologist since she is not on your team. You have to self -advocate for yourself and if they are not doing their job then it's time to part ways. Your life depends on it. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Good Morning SheilaE. I feel a second opinion would be the right thing to do to cover all your bases. Ask for a referral or recommendation.🙂

Keeping you in prayers, as you seek the second opinion, and the protocols that will get you all the best outcomes! Tight Hugs!
