    Hi Janet, one of the people

    Hi Janet, one of the people who posts regularly at Inspire.com was the source to that info.  Will dig that out and get back later today.  

    Edit to add this link.  Note that there is reference to an individual who had 44 mets Treated with g/k.  http://www.inspire.com/groups/lung-cancer-survivors/discussion/number-of-brain-mets-for-gamma-knife/

    I'M PSYCHED!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INFO.  I think you have answered my question with that one link alone.  You are such a dear.  I'll be home with my Mother tomorrow and next week we go to the oncologist for the MRI (and results).  If he again insists that WBRT is the last hope, and if the location is good for GK and size of the "spots" are below 3cm, then I am going to have to insist on GK!  

    My Mother is a fighter.  Gosh -- to actually have all the spots shrink or perhaps disappear would be the ultimate answer to our prayers.

    You are a dear and I'm so grateful -- thank you dear lady and I will keep you posted.

    Most sincerely,

    janet

    You are welcome.

    To be on the safe side, I would get a second opinion in the works with one of these cancer centers that have passed some very rigorous tests to qualify to be accredited by the National Cancer Institute:  http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/cancer_centers/index.html
