Brain Necrosis vs Metastasis

Discussion Topic

Hello I am an 8 yrs alk+ cancer survivor. Fast forward... I had Mets in the brain that cleared with Alsensa except for one.  When this progressed it was radiated and 6 months later I developed radiation necrosis. Took dexamethizone for 9 months trying to save my right peripheral vision. Side effects of Dex to severe so tapered off, lost vision and now have avascular necrosis in both hips. Over last 2 yrs have had 2 rounds of Avastin treatment for brain swelling and headaches. Last MRI showed 2.5cm x 2.9cm x 3.5 cm.
