 Topic: Whole Brain RadiationPosted: Jan 15 2014 at 4:58pm |
|
On December 13th I was diagnosed with a brain tumor after I lost use of my left side. On December 18th the tumor was removed with surgery. Today I went and saw the Radiation Oncologist.
She is recommending whole brain radiation for 10 treatments. Has anyone else had whole brain radiation and how did you get along? Thank you for your help. |
