Had to look up Letrozole and for those of us that are novices...its Femara! Incredible news that taking a pill and radiotherapy can have such good results on hormone positive brain mets! I have a question...how do they ascertain that the brain mets are hormone positive? If one is hormone positive on initial diagnosis if one had mets to brain are they necessarily hormone positive? Thanks Lani
