brain met update
I just had 4 hours to do some research before I seen the radiation Dr. So I spent it on this site. When I got there they handed me the written report that said I had to many mets to even count. So I caved in for the wbr. I really wanted to save it for father down the line. I had a brain MRI just 3 months ago and it was clean. I also had a 2.2cm. leision in the hip and it grew to take over the whole hip area 3 months ago. During this 3 month period, 2 of the months I was on abraxane and her. I think my cancer must have fed off the abraxane. So they are doing my hip too. I had the MRI on Tue. morning and saw the Dr. 4 hours later and they made the face mask and marked my hip and I had my first treatments the next day. Yesterday I also had a MRI of my spine since I am having some pain there. My radiation Dr. is contacting the oncoligst to see if I can get the tykerb after I finsh this. The oncoligist took blood work to see if I can take the xeloda since it put me in the hospital both times. I tried it. I usally hate steriods but with in one day they took away the headache and vomiting. Patty H

Patty,
Yes indeed, thank you for taking the energy and time to report what is happening, as we are all thinking of you - praying hard for good results and no complications. Be gentle with yourself, rest as you need to... I hope you will report to doc ANY symptom or side effect that you are troubled about or that causes you pain/discomfort. And then EXPECT the issue to be addressed promptly with solid help/relief. That decadron truely does it's appointed job... yet comes with it's own set of other 'issues'. Hope you can reduce to zero pretty quickly, but so glad for you to have it working now. with love, pattyz xoxox |
You are in my thoughts. May your mets shrink down to nothing quickly. MJO

Wishing you all the bestSusan
