Second Brain Tumour in 5 months
Hi everyone, I posted about secondary breast cancer which spread to the brain 5yrs after a mastectomy, hysterectomy, chemo & radiation. I had an MRI on Monday & have been told that this second tumour has grown in the last 8 weeks, I'm seeing the Radiologist tomorrow & the Surgeon on Tuesday. Apparently chemo is out due to this being secondary cancer which has metastised & operating or radiation will cause permanent brain damage for my right side this time. I'm still depending on the right side to walk as my left leg hasn't properly come good since the first tumour was removed in October.
Has anyone been in this position of a tumour in the brain growing & if so, what course of treatment did they do? How did it affect you, I don't know what full radiation to the brain does either but was told it causes brain damage. Thanks if you can help.
