Re: 10 years - one decade - since brain mets diagnosis
Wow Steph thank you SO MUCH for sharing that!!!! You really made my day and it does really, really help ease my mind. I am now 10 days from my brain mets diagnosis after seizure and my zaps are next week. I am also in WA state, up in Whatcom county. If you hear any big foot reports coming from this area over the weekend, know that it is probably just me on a dex rampage!! This stuff is the worst. Thanks again for sharing this, you made my load much lighter today!
