Re: Ugh Brain Mets!
Hi DizzyDo,
How are you feeling now?
I had stereotactic surgery in Dec 2014 for 4 brain mets. I didn't really need the dex. Have you tapered off now? I had an MRI about 1 month later. Did you have your mri yet? And they are checking me every 3 months. I don't have systemic disease so there's not much to do. I can take Tykerb, but opted to wait until the results if my next MRI. I also asked my onc to start back up on herceptin which I know doesn't cross the BBB, but I'm hoping it will keep my body clear. Are you on any other treatment? Keep us posted.
