That’s great news Mike, I’ve been following your progress too, and so happy to hear it went well!
You give us all hope.

Hi Mike. This is all new to me, diagnosed in may, stage 4. I’m one of those who comes here and quietly reads without saying much. This place gives me hope and inspiration. Mike, your story is one I’ve been following, I think it gives us all some hope that you’ve been fighting this for so long. I’m rooting for you buddy, so keep on fighting, and I’ll stop by every day to check on you. Keep me doing that for another 10 years at least.

I just completed a week of whole brain radiation this week, and it was not as scary as it sounds. They create the mask to fit your head, and hold it in place. Each proceedure takes about 4 minutes, so quick that I never regretted going. It turns out I have 9 mets in my brain, so that’s why they opted for whole brain. This is so aggressive that if they use targeted radiation, by the time they zap a few, it has given new ones a chance to grow. So they try to get them all at once. I’ll let you know how that goes. I’d love to hear from anyone else who has gone through something similar.
