Hope things look better tomorrow. I haven't had the lack of faith reply but the good attitude reply. I do have a good attitude but I don't think that my Her-2 proteins really care or are affected by my attitude.

I think the oncs expect us to be happy because statistically our chances are somewhat small to get brain mets, although 3X higher than other BC I think, still small. It's less likely for you to have brain mets than not. Of course most of us had tiny odds of getting BC in the first place. So the oncs do have the right perspective which is easier to have when you don't have BC.

Do the counselling. If it doesn't help maybe the meds will. I think some psych problems are chemically based and counselling your seratonin uptake won't work.

All of us have these kind of days. You will have really good days again. Bev
