My breast cancer has just gone to my lungs and brain where I have about 10 rice size lesions .I have been offered full brain radiation or gamma knife .has anyone got any ideas which one to go for .I am scared don’t know what to do
Hi ,'ve heard of Gamma knife (Cyber knife) before a few years ago but I thought it was only done privately ,it sounds really good ,if you're offered this I would take it it sounds so much more effective than radiation plus it only takes one treatment where radiation can take up to 30 ,and also a lot less side affects ,if it were me I would definitely choose Gamma knife ,I really hope it works well for you .
Hello my mum had the gamma knife in February (stereostatic radiotherapy) and she was really good with it. Less invasive and it shrunk it. She only needed one session. Went in and walked out a few hours later. Hope that helps x
I can understand you being scared and apprehensive. It’s a natural reaction. Plus It’s a lot to take in and compute, coupled with working out which side effects are “better”. You will know yourself the best when it comes to making your decision and choices xxx
That's great News so good to hear a positive outcome ,it informs people like newdelhi when faced with options although people usually go with what the Doctors advise ,thanks for sharing your mams positive outcome x
