There are so many here who can give you advice/experience with brain mets...just another wonderful part of this group...experience!

Re: brain mets
 

Pam,
My heart just sank when I read your news--you just haven't even had time to come up for air. There is not much else I can say that hasn't already been said other then how much I hate this damned disease! (I wanted to scream when I read your post.) I'm so glad you were at least able to get one dose of the Halaven...I've read such positive news on it. I'm sure it will do some serious damage on the nasty cancer cells. Surprise attack! Shelia is right...they have come along way in treating brain mets. You truly are a warrior/fighter and I know you will get through this too. You have alot of brain met survivors here to help you along. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you a lots of love & a really big hug!

Pam,

I am so sorry to hear your latest. Really just takes the wind out of my sails. Dang. I just wish you could get a bit of breathing room here. I am betting you feel like you are lost at sea with one wave after another crashing over you.

There is so much on the brain mets front these days that I am not about to give up on you, so please you stay mentally strong too! I think you said you will begin Haleven once the radiation is complete. That drug has certainly worked wonders for our dear Sheila, and it is my belief it will do something extraordinary for you too! I am sorry you are struggling so right now. I wish I could reach across the web and give you a big hug. Prayers coming.

Re: brain mets

Re: brain mets
 

Pam,
I too am thinking of you and hoping that rads will do the trick & that you can continue Halaven,

gentle hugs,Marcia

Re: brain mets
 

Thanks everyone for your continued good wishes and caring - lifts me up.

Today is #7 rad out of 20 , almost half way. Decadron not too bad - had relieved headaches, dizziness. Hanging in there - trying to stuff protein and good cals in to gain some weight. The decadron hasn't had much of an effect on that. More fatigue coming they say. so lots of naps i guess.

Thanks for your encouragements and good thoughts and prayers for this tx to work I kick these mets out of my head.
