Whole brain radiation experiences

I’m just want to hear people’s stories on this for my Dad. He starts this week

Whole head radiation was only done one time they measure you for a mask and then they do the whole brain go home and just rest. First i had a tumor removed then 3 spotst srs radiation then whole head to keep the little ones small. For me never stops. Lost hair with chemo too

Thanks so much for your reply! I’m very scared about this. He starts chemo after and then Keytruda. He was on tygrisso for a while but it seems to have stopped working unfortunately

How long did you do the whole head?? He has to do it every day for two weeks
