      My mother has stage IV melanoma. She has 5 small lesions in her brain and a few other small ones in her lungs. She was diagnosed 8 months ago and did not really respond negatively or positively to chemo. Doctors have recommended WBR but she dies not want to do it. She was also told by docs that they cant perform gamma knife if there's more than 3 tumors. What are the options then?
