Hi Lynne; You're concerns are a common thread that runs through our "conversations" here. We all struggle with the day-to-day task of trying to live with cancer while maintaining hope and love of life. It isn't easy, and sometimes it all seems overwhelming, doesn't it. Are you on any medication for depression? Some of us, myself included, have found the new SSRI's very helpful. That you're getting Herceptin now is excellent, so just try to stay tuned in to your symptoms, and if the headaches are worrying you, INSIST on a Brain MRI, as that is the most definitive scan for diagnosing brain mets. If you've read the posts from some of our brain mets survivors, including Christine, our founder, you know that early detection is the key to managing this complication.
So welcome, and know you're among friends.
<3,
Lolly
