HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - From Leslie: Hi Everyone, I have brain mets and need your support

Stay strong sister - you can do this Leslie. Many of us are living well with a brain mets diagnosis. And you can too. I hope the WBR blasts them all to oblivion and you can go about the business of living your life after its over. Love and prayers coming your way, doll.
