Re: From Leslie: Hi Everyone, I have brain mets and need your support

Hi, Yes Leslie 304, She is in a hospital in NY and being treated for 4 brain mets. I am not clear but believe her current treatment is whole brain radiation.

Her treatment is for 25 minutes a day. Her family is about 2 hours away.

She wanted to talk to you all and couldn't figure out how to start a thread.
I think she will be responding soon.

She sounded very strong and is thinking about going to Fox Chase to see Dr. C. If you remember, she went to MDAnderson to see him early on. and was treated in NY.
