Hello! I’ve been living with MBC for 7 years. My latest MRI showed brain mets, and my oncologist is recommending whole brain radiation. Has anyone had this? What side effects did you experience? Any permanent side effects?

This is such an important question, and it's completely natural to want to understand what to expect with whole brain radiation. Many community members have shared their experiences with this treatment, and side effects can vary from person to person - some experience fatigue, hair loss, or cognitive changes, while others may have different experiences entirely. Connecting with others who've been through similar treatments can provide valuable insights and support during this time.
