Re: brain mets have arrived
Sending prayers and healing energy your way, Jackie. I pray that you are able to zap the buggers with some targeted radiation. This is a VERY effective treatment and can allow you to beat this. You are not out of the game, my dear. It is possible, it is possible. We are all standing in your corner, cheering you on as you face this latest struggle. Sending you heaps of support and love.
