Hi Nick,
I'm sorry to hear about your father. How many brain mets does he have? If less than 8 or so (I had 10), then some form of targeted radiation (Gamma Knife, stereotactic radiosurgery, Cyberknife etc.) is far more effective for long term control of the individual brain tumors than WBR. I would have thought targeted radiation combined with something more systemic like a braf inhibitor if he is braf positive, or some form immonotherapy would be a far better option that just to "wait and see".
Just my opinion though.
Good luck,
Ben.

Hi Brendan. I've been on PD1 for about 6 months, and have worked full time throughout. Occasionally get a little fatigued, but feel pretty "normal". I know everyone's different, but I have found it very empowering that the disease doesn't stop me from working.
