Experiences with prophylactic cranial irradiation?

Hello, I'm sure this is a scary time with all of these overwhelming procedures. My mom's cancer also spread to the brain, and I recall a few rounds of radiation.

Check out a few posts on the matter- wishing you the best. Please review with your oncologist all the questions you may have on this.

Hi , I wanted to check in with you and see how you're doing. How was your experience with the prophylactic cranial irradiation? I'm sorry there was no reference when you were beginning. - How are you doing today? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

That's so nice of you. I didn't do it because doctor said he felt I did not need it. I'm still dealing with the permanent side effects from chemo. Things like brain fog, neuropathy, weakness, weigh gain, emotional changes, hearing loss. Worried about a recent mammogram they want me to repeat in 6 mos. Loss of my life partner of 27 years at Christmas 2024 before that it was my only child passed at age 44 so it's a lot of emotional so the physical stuff doesn't help. I just try to be positive about things. I hope you are well.
