brain mets
I can hardly type those words. Dx yesterday with brarin mets. 5-8 spots they could see on MRI. Largest 2.6 cm in cerrubellum sp. Had 1st rad tx yesterday too wbr - also on decadron. I think 4 weeks of wbr. I was feeling woozy and had headaches and thought it was from the oxycodon after surgery on my leg 2 weeks ago but after a week of not having the drug I knew it was something else. Thinking back I've been really off tired and weak for over a month probably it was this all along.
I'm kind of emotionally numb, scared, thinking is this the end now but holdibg on to all the success stories with brain mets on this site.
I also had my first eribulen tx on Monday but have to quit now til rads are done.
