Lisa, thinking of you

[Janelle]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you sweetie! Hoping that it's nothing. Keep up that positive outlook.

Hugs,

Gee, what a *#*%!# turn of events. But with the knowledge we've all gained from the ladies here who've been there done that, you'll get through this with flying colors. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Lisa.
Love, Lolly

Yes, Lisa -
You are empowered by ALL the great info on brain mets and their treatment - so if it does turn out to be something that needs attention, you are prepared. (If one is ever really prepared for keeping up the fight!)
By the way - did you NOT have a brain MRI earlier in the year when there were lots of posts about the necessity of checking inside the old bean?
I have used my guided imagery to try and keep my brain/skull area free and clear (maybe neck nodes as well). I have a very definite line across my shoulders that says "No cancer cells allowed."
I will be picturing that little spot vaporizing for you!

Yes, Steph, I have had regular 3 months checkups of my brain. BUT, except last Sept. when this all started,they've been CT scans, not MRIs. This time, I asked for a brain MRI to avoid the radiation of CTs. Ironic, huh?

I will start my own guided imagery for the area. Hope you don't mind if I borrow your image!

Love and light,

Lisa

LIsa,
Just a thought. Maybe the Herceptin is causing the markers to not be accurate? Its a antibody so maybe it masks the tumor markers? Just a thought. I can't believe how many of us are finding brain mets. I thought it was only supposed to be 25%. Its seem way more then that. What a bummer. Maybe it will turn out to be nothing!! Love michele
