I can see the disappointment in my mom's face. And then the indecision. I told Dr. Marcoux that she stated she wasn't going to go through treatment for her brain. Of course my dad is yelling that she needs to do this. I think that's why Mom agreed to it. Maybe just to shut my dad up? In any case I am to wait for a call from the radiation team to schedule the consultation and planning meeting on Monday.
My instincts were right, unfortunately. The MRI shows two tumors in her brain. Dr Marcoux said he's not entirely sure the tumors caused the memory loss. But he recommends she gets radiation. Come on, she just finished radiation to her chest 3 days ago! How much more can her body take? Her nerve pain increased after the radiation, much more so than chemo.
