Hi:

I have a question to anyone who knows of or has had experience with the
following: I have NSCLC (Alveolar Carcinoma) in the Rt. lower lobe and
possibly in the left. I would like to know how you know if the cancer
has metastasized to the brain. What are the symptoms? I losing hair in
one patch of your scalp a possibility? I haven't had Chemo since Jan.
22 (Vinblastine & Cisplatin) and I only had hair thinning. I showed the
patch on my scalp to my holistic M.D. and she said it's apecia
(spelling) but my trust level is zero, so I am looking for experience.

Thank you June

 Hi,
 Pardon my spelling but PCI stands for =
prophalatic cranial irradiation - or
 preventative brain radiation.
 I completed 15 sessions of it in =
May.  I was diagnosed with small cell lung
 cancer - limited stage in June of =
1997.  Thanks to chemo, chest radiation &
 Divine Intervention, I am now cancer =
free.  We had heard that this type of
 cancer likes to go to the brain - so =
by doing this we have prevented this
 occurence.  My doctor said it is =
recommended to people who have had a complete
 response to treatment and who have a =
survival rate of 5 years or more.
 I have terrible headaches - that they =
are blaming on swelling of the brain due
 to PCI.  Doctors also say they =
will go away shortly - 6 - 8 weeks after the
 radiation.
 Please E Mail me if you have any =
questions.
 Prayers and good luck.
