@tattrigoo my post to you is coming a bit late, sorry. Have you been able to meet with the radiation oncologist yet? What has he said? The nurse or social worker at the radiation center may be able to talk with you about all of your concerns. Try to make an appointment for yourself. My friend is a nurse in radiation oncology and she spends lots of time with the families. I hope all goes well for you and your husband. Becky

Thank you Becky. Yes, we met with the radiation oncologist. We’re going to proceed with Brain MRI and then 3 sessions of whole brain radiation, which consists of daily sessions Monday-Friday for three weeks with a total of 15 treatments. The radiation onc at MDAnderson just finished up a study. Results haven’t been posted yet but he was talking about a reduction in the incidence of brain metastasis for SCBC from 50% to around 14%.
