Short Meeting
We drove into London this afternoon for a meeting with the neuro-consultant. In the end, we were only in the room for about 10 minutes!
To sum things up, he is recommending that Sharon go ahead with whole brain radiotherapy and insists that this treatment is OK to do despite all of the previous radiotherapy doses to the brain (via Gamma Knife). Whole brain radiotherapy is a much lower dose of radiotherapy but is administered to the entire area as opposed to Gamma Knife which is highly focussed. Problem right now is that tumours are popping up thick and fast so the "blitz" approach is hoped to be a better option for right now.
Back to London tomorrow to the Marsden for a meeting with the doctor and a planning scan in preparation for the treatment.
