Oh, Paris, I am so sorry to hear your latest news; just so, oh, I can't even think of a word for it....frustrating doesn't begin to touch it, does it? Take some time to rest, reflect and then please let us know how you are doing.

Deeply caring hugs,

Peggy

Paris,

I'm sorry to read this. Here's hoping that this time the radio surgery blasts that pesky brain met into outer space!

Not the news anyone would hope for. I'm grateful that they want to use radiosurgery again before insisting on WBR.

Did they discuss the possibility of ablation at all?

Hi all , I'm ok... just processing and sometimes it's rough. I have my warrior attitude ready to battle again.

Yes they said 2cm is surgery, one side is 1.9 x 0.04 the other is 1.7 . In the same tumor bed.

No surgery for now, hopefully radiation will shrink the sucker!

Thank you all for your support, means so much! Meeting neurologist, radaoligost and oncologist this week.

Will update! Enjoy your weekend

Paris
