    I hope someone can respond to this question which I posted before but got no responses.

    I am to have full brain radiation therapy for a second time as new metastatic BC lesions are growing in my brain.

    My question is: Has anybody had 2nd time full brain radiation?  My hair fell out the first time but slowly grew back. I expect it will fall out again and has anyone had their hair grow back a second time?  Many thanks, any feedback will be greatly appreciated.  Mel

    I wish I could help but I don't know.  I have had WBR and have been told I can't have it again but that cyberknife is still a possibility.  I had some progression on my October scans and my onc is waiting to see what my December scans look like since the brain mets have never caused any symptoms.

    Swirly, you will most likely get more responses/feeback if you post your question in the stage IV forum.  Best, J.
