Re: Waiting on Trail, got Brain Mets...

Oh Julierene ~
I am sending you lots of hugs and prayers. You will be here for your precious babies! Let the WBR zap it out and get on that trial. I'm not sure about the hair part...I think Chrisitine or Joe would know this? Could they not do Gamma knife? Please don't think you did the wrong thing by telling them about your sinus headache and slight dizziness. I would think it would be much worse to let the brain mets grow without treatment versus delaying the trial.

I know how you feel about losing your hair - it was harder for me than losing my breast too. The hair is something you see whereas you can hide the lost breast in clothes etc. Losing hair gives cancer a face. I feel deeply for you and hopefully it will grow back or not fall out at all. Christine is such an inspiration and look at what she has accomplished with brain mets...you can too! Don't give up hope, please. We are here for you!
Hugs ~ Ruth
I just read StephN thread...please read it and it will give you much hope.
