Brain mets

Hello! It has been a long time since I posted. I was just diagnosed with pituitary gland mets(hormone+/Her2+). No other cancer found in the brain and will probably do gamma knife radiation at Barrow's Neurological Center at St. Joe's Hospital. I am so lucky to have this Center near me. I have to say I am still in denial. I am having a pet scan to see if there are mets anywhere else.

My question to you wonderful women is do you have any suggestions? Any clinical trials that you know of, any questions I should ask?
Any of you women going through this or have gone through this? I would love to talk to you!!
