PCR treatment

My mum is hopefully having final chemo tomorrow.

they have offered her PCR on the brain to reduce chance of secondary brain cancer can anyone give advice on this?  She seemed adiment she doesn't want it as worried it will affect her mentally. I've told her if she gets brain cancer that will totally affect her :-( 

I'm hoping she will agree to it as she has had four double sessions of chemo on lung cancer with no side affects at all and she is 74 and very healthy . Going for fifth and final one tomorrow.

  • Hello della1973,

    I noticed you hadn't received a response yet. Our forum has been very busy recently and it seems somehow your post went down the page.

    How did you mum's final chemotherapy session go? 

    We have some information on Prophylactic Cranial Radiotherapy here but if you want to discuss it all in more detail, don't hesitate to ring our nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

    I hope others with experience of PCR will see your post and share their story with you,
