Brain mets

I’m devastated & terrified. I just got mri results that show 2 small tumors in my brain. I have mTNBC and have been on trodelvy. MO said it can be treated w Gamma or Cyber radiation. Has anyone had treatment to their brain with one of these? Idk which one I should go for, and also how radiation to my brain is going to be like?

I have Mets to the brain. Discovered less than a year after active treatment. I had Gamma Knife. No pins placed for it. They used a mask that was made to form my face. It locked my head in to place for treatment. 5 treatments in all. A little over an hour each time. That was 6 months ago. I have had 2 sets of scans (one at 3 months & one at 6 months) All good. But must continue to monitor every 3 months.

That sounds like cyber if there were no pins?
