Re: Need your Help/Advice - Got Dx with Brain Met

Hi Kris
I've been researching brain mets as I suspect I have a pretty high likelihood of developing them, in fact since I have never had an MRI I may be harbouring them as yet without symptoms. Rich posted a really good review article last year. I think I brought it up when I searched "Whole Brain Radiation" or "Brain Mets". I'm sure you are in good hands and will get the best treatment available.Thinking of you and hoping that your treatment is as efficient and effective as it has been for so many on this board.I'm really impressed by your ability to go forward with the next step-but then I guess that is no big surprise as you DID run the half marathon last year to my great admiration.
