Yes, BUT......

Carla,
Will you now be kind to yourself? Give yourself TIME to heal and regain your strength? Please.

Brain mets suck big time. Our options are few. Treatments lag far behind any other treatments for other mets... And the treatments are ALL BAD. Brain function/ non-function is a terrifying prospect. No two ways about it. We do what we are advised to do, hoping for the best outcome...fearing for our own imminent death and brain disfunction.

Dont' be hard on yourself. No need. You have enough to deal with already.

bighugs, love,

Carla,
I'm also with Patty on this one. YOU need time to HEAL. Listen to your body. We want to push ourselves so that we can lead "normal" lives, but sometimes we have to allow ourselves time to recover so that we have better quality of life later. Be patient and do whatever you need to do to alleviate the pain. You will be better off in the long run.
