BRAIN METS

Postby Wize1 » Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:36 am

I was just diagnosed with 6 brain mets. I had colon resection in 2015 then came back in lung last summer. Now one year forward brain mets. The largest one will be removed on Monday and we will radiate the rest after. The prognosis online here is grim. Can anyone chime in on survival of these? HELP!

Hi ,
Really sorry to hear you have to have more treatment . Crazylife posted recently as her husband had a brain met removed. She got some well thought out replies so you might like to use the search function and read her thread . There was a lot of positive opinions.
