Hi there,

Had a CT scan of the brain. They now sugegst a follow up MRI as the CT scan was "suggestive of many, small scattered brain mets". Trying to get the MRI scheduled ASAP to get clarity, but has anyone been in this situation? If so, assuming it is in fact mets, what treatment(s) did you get? How long ago? Any way to get around WBR?

It's galling that the rest of the body is still stable, apparently. Oh well, BBB, I guess, is doing it's job...

Needless to say, very, very scared right now.I have a daugther that will turn 7 next week. I so wanted to see her turn 10...

Thanks!
