10 months agoBrain radiation is a standard and important treatment for managing brain metastases, and many people do experience improvement in their symptoms and quality of life after this treatment. While this is clearly a challenging time with many difficult changes, having family support during radiation can make a meaningful difference in the journey ahead.
