melanoma mets in the brain

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My dad has melanoma and we just learned 3 - 1 cm spots in the brain. We meet

today to discuss whole brain radiation. What other options exist and what can

he do to reduce damage from radiation if he chooses it.

He chose oral chemo in August when first diagnosed and has made some dietary

changes. He generally always ate a bit better than the SAD and has improved

this quite a bit but still no where near, organic, or truly healthy. He also

leans toward trusting the doctors. I am here because this would be my choice

and I am looking for things that he might be willing to do to enhance his life.

Thanks so much,
