@shirley71 I am turning 80. My Dr said
he wouldn’t recommend it as you would most likely get dementia. I am treating at Allina Cancer center in Anoka, MN.

@cindythomas108, did your scans show any tumors in the brain? There are different types of brain radiation. Some are harder on the tissues than others.

I will be 80 within 2 weeks and have small cell lung cancer. My doctor also said he wouldn’t recommend it. I am also being treated at Mercy cancer center in Coon Rapids,MN
