I know, I see those statistics and they really do a number on my head, so to speak, lol!
But I don't think I am unusual in the brain mets department. I haven't had WBRT and my dx was 14 months ago. I still have four tumors we know about, with triple contrast MRI, and hoping VERY MUCH to have them treated soon with CyberKnife procedure.
The rest of my body is NED. I also read that more often, other mets impact your length of survival when you have brain mets. Many DON'T die from their brain mets, but progression of other mets.
don't know if that helps you at all..........
hugs,
