A member asked:
How quickly after diagnosis will the mets be taken out of the brain by surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VARIES: Surgical scheduling has many variables, and whether mets get excised, treated with gamma knife, or handled with chemotherapy depends on primary source, mass effect, location, and whether one or many. Discuss with office of your neurosurgeon and an oncologist. Hope all goes well for you.
