lung cancer has spread to brain

Posted by curiouskitty @curiouskitty, 4 days ago

Hello.
My lung cancer has spread to brain. I will be having radiation tomorrow using TrueBeam technology. I was told side effects should be minimal if any. Are there others who have used this treatment. I’m nervous about it!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

@rlf66 that's a wonderful outcome.
Unfortunately I have DDD with chronic daily pain.
Referred to pain management.
This has been an issue for me for over 2 years now.

The gammaknife treatments were painless for me. And did help to shrink the first tumor found.
Second was needed due to another lesion and a few scattered seeds. Now waiting on follow up mri.

@loribmt thank you for sharing, this gives us all a lot of hope to overcome this. We used to travel a lot until I started having issues with my walking gait. My husband keeps on planning future trips but I’m a little reserved until my walking issues improve. Really hope to get back to traveling normal again.

@panda2ac I just keep staying as positive as I can.
Research and treatments have come very far these days 😊
I do what I can day by day
