Kate, I am thinking of you and praying for you. I am so sorry that you have been hit with this double whammy. You are strong and up beat and have the fighting spirit, you will beat this. Glad they caught the brain met early. I have a brain MRI tomorrow and I am so nervous. The pain management clinic I am going to (for my shingles) is giving me head to toe MRI's. I had the back done today, the brain tomorrow and the upper back and neck done probably saturday. I hate the things we have to go through, just wanted to know I am thinking about you..sherry
