Re: Help! Brain mets besides lung mets
Karla - I can relate to your feeling of desperation at learning this news of brain mets and the feeling of not knowing where to go or what to do with yourself, I am so sorry you are facing this news and having to make more tx decisions. I can't offer any advice to your on the type of radiation but encourage you to seek the best possible. There must me good choices in the LA area - even if you have to travel to get the recommended treatment. It sounds like you are already seeking out best options. So many people on this site have had tx for brain mets I'm sure they'll offer more help than I can. I just want to tell you I'm thinking of you and praying that these met will soon disappear altogether with radiation. And yes, I pray that 2011 can be the year of the Cure!
