        Oncologist said we ahould treat brain mets before before starting braf combo. Gama knife isn’t an option as he is in thd hospital and insurance will only cover it as an oit patient procedure. I have to decied in the morning and don’ t know what to do. I am afaid his liver is too far gone. Just scared and unsure what to do as brain blees have left him unable ro make a decision. How hard would the whole bran radiation be on him? Also can liver failure be stopped if tumors shrink?
