Re: brain mets
Hi Pam,
So nice to hear from you I have been wondering how your doing? I'm glad your finished with WBR...but sad to hear your now dealing with pneumonia. Your poor immune system has really taken a hit with all you've been through. At least they got you hydrated...that's very important! I did a little research for you Pam and it looks like it takes about 2 wks after wbr to start feeling better.
Now that your done with rads you can get some rest. The antibiotic's will clear up the pneumonia and thrush so hang in there. I sure wished you were closer because I would gladly babysit you any day. Focus on lots of rest and let that medication clear up your lungs and hopefully real soon you will start feeling better. Sending warm healing thoughts and prayers your way.
Chelee
