Skull met!

4 Replies

I am receiving radiation on a skull med on my left side, just passed my optical nerve area. I am wondering if I should have another MRI after the fifth or sixth radiation treatment to see if the med has been eliminated or should they continue on with the complete 10 treatments?

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I think dr will complete all treatment and wait for 3 months for next scan.

Way beyond my pay grade....... But I can tell by your finger sign in the photo that you were telling us that the procedure was done on a Thursday.
