Dr West,
It was very nice to hear your voice as I feel I know you a little better as our friend and Doctor. Unfortunately I am unable to hear the interview online, but I do look forward to the transcript of the interview at a later date.

Thanks again for ALL you do for the lung cancer community.

It should be available to listen to through iTunes (although I admit I also had some trouble, and I like to think I’m reasonably tech-savvy). I think if people have trouble listening through their own audio programs, you can download iTunes if you want to (although I find that it does try to take over all of your audio files and is a rather high maintenance program in terms of harassing you about updated versions every few weeks).

The transcript should be available soon.

Dr. West:

Thanks for doing and posting the excellent brain mets interview with Dr. Mehta. It’s now saved in my just-in-case audio keeper folder.

I was able to download the MP3 file via the “Podcast” link in the left column of the CBCE page you provided, then play it in VLC Media Player, a free application which will play practically any media file and doesn’t take over the whole computer! Aloha,

Ned

Dr. West,

An excellent interview with Dr. Mehta! Recent MRI indicates that I have multiple brain mets now and may be a candidate for wbr. The interview helped me formulate some basic questions for the radiation oncologist. How does one choose the best place for such treatments?

Thanks,

Prem

Prem,

   My perception is that WBR is so common and straightforward that it’s like getting an appendectomy. A good general radiation oncologist is perfectly right for the job — you shouldn’t need to go a great distance to find an experienced rad onc with good judgment. This doesn’t require any special equipment or training, just someone who is attentive and diligent.
