Hi Ladies, my name is Jeana and i was diagnosed stage3 her2 in June 2010, and then in April 2011 was diagnosed with 4 brain mets... I underwent surgery to remove the 2 in the back of my brain because they were causing me to have seizure's and then i had 5 weeks of WBR to shrink the other 2 mets. I had a MRI done about 3 weeks ago and everything looked good. I will be having a Pet Scan done on September 2 and hopefully everything will be good on that also. I am currently getting Herceptin every 3 weeks for a year as long as my scan's are clean. The only thing that bother's me right now is that my right arm hurt's all the time and I am wondering if it could be caused from where my Lymph Nodes were removed, but i still worry about the brain mets coming back. How do i get pass this and get my life back? I am so scared...
