      Hi the reason whole brain is being considered is that the latest mri showed several small (2-3mm) tumours, more than 5 in number,hence why I think stereotactic radiation is not considered the best course at the minute. I did suggest this but due to the number and seemingly fast pace of progression wbr was considered the best route.
