Re: Brain Mets &%$#$!! :(
Hey Fellow Pennsylvanian!
Man, I get overwhelmed with my mother's illness and am off the boards for several weeks only to come back to THIS sucky news! Crap on the proverbial crapstick to this one! I am really sorry you have had to go through such a scary time but I am so glad you are with those terrific folks at Penn. Gotta give you a big clap on the back for bearing up with humor and class straight down the line. Sending you Pennsylvania prayers from a few miles up the pike. Keep us posted on how your treatment has worked. Stupid cancer doesn't know who its messing with!
