Radiation for brain mets

LucytheLump

Can anyone tell me if they have had the same as what has been prescribed for me. I am to have 25 fractions to whole brain, with an extra boost at the area of tumour residual after neurosurgery.

I am wanting to know what side effects were involved especially burns to the skin etc and if there was hair loss please.

Hi LucytheLump.

Until other members post with their own experiences you may take a look at the Brain Mets Sister group.

We hope this helps with your questions.
