My wife went in for her second gammaknife treatment to pick off two brain tumors. Her scan was ten days ago. They did the pre-treatment MRI this morning and found three more – all three had emerged during this ten day period. Obviously not a good sign – means the cancer is fast growing up there. She was able to have the gammaknife treatment and they went after all five. They will scan again in 30 days. But likely the next treatment for her head will be whole brain radiation. She's pretty emotionally distraught this evening, even though she came through it fine.

We have the weekend to recover – then she has a golf ball size sub-q tumor on her upper arm removed Monday. Then a week later – maybe start a new chemo.
This disease is just terrible.
