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

Leslie, I am sorry to hear of the recent brain activity you have encountered. My husband lived with and managed brain mets for 27 months. It is hard not to second guess ourselves in this journey but just try to remember that you make the best decisions with the information in hand at the time. I am positive that the WBR will help along with the many new drugs that are in the works that pass the blood brain barrier.

It has been some time since I have been on the site. I lost my husband to his long battle with Stage IV, Inflammatory, Her2+++, Male Breast Cancer and needed time to heal. I have continued my research and invite you to contact me any time you need.
