A message from Christine...I'm fine
 

I thank each and every one of you for your concern and prayers. I have confidence that the gamma knife proceedure I went in for early Wednesday morning will work well. I feel very positive, happy, and healthy today. I cannot stress enough how important it is to undergo frequent brain MRIs after dealing with such an onset of brain metastases. I've been going every six months, and without it, I would have never been able to find this new tumor after four and a half years since my last. My tumor was caught very small (> 1 cm) and treatable, and both my doctors and I feel that I will be okay.

Thank you!

Hugs to all,
Christine

Thank you Christine for posting so soon following your Gamma Knife Treatment. I am happy you feel well enough to do so. I too am confident that this was caught early and you are such an excellent example of why it is so important to stay on top of our cancer. I hope this is the last of it and the road ahead has no more bumps in it for you. Stay well.

AWESOME news Christine...
 

I TOO feel confident you will be fine, your such a warrior. Take care and God bless.

So glad to read your post...I am so happy that this was caught early and you will be fine...many prayers have been answered from all of your "family" that you mean the world to on this board.....you once again prove the point of vigilence on the brain MRI's! Sending a big hug and lots of love

So glad to hear things went well. I have never had a brain MRI, but my oncologist agreed to order one for me since I was stage 4 right out of the gate...I have the MRI tomorrow and hope that we can just use it as a baseline in the future (I'm not having any symptoms, but the brain seems to be the only area that hasn't been scanned so far). You are a role model to so many and it helps me to see someone like you with such a positive outlook.

Glad to hear you are doing great. Thanks for letting us know so quickly.

You are an inspiration
 

Christine: I'm glad you email us to let us know you are doing fine!

We have met in the past @ the Spanish Landing Park during one of the events that Genentech set up, you were there and so other breast cancer survivors, it was a beautiful day and I got to meet a lot of people. You and I have talked on the phone many many times in the past and you are and have been an inspiration to me, always so positive and encouraging. I want you to know that am praying for you today.

Christine thanks for the update and so glad to hear you're feeling well and positive.
I wish you a speedy recovery and good health for many more years.

Dear Christine,


Just found out about your latest news. I'm glad that you caught it and got after it right away. Just another reminder of how sneaky "it" is. Thanks to you paving the way, I was able to face my Gamma Knife in 2005 with less fear and more confidence of a positive outcome. You continue to inspire us all.

Love and Big Hugs,

Kim in CA

Hi Christine,
Thank you so much for posting. You have been in my thoughts all day, and I was upset yesterday to learn that you had to go through this procedure. It also demonstrates how diligent we all need to be about scheduling our regular MRIs. I hope you continue to feel well, and that you have an uneventful recovery.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Christine,
