Re: brain mets have arrived
Jackie I am so sorry for this. You have received some good tips from members and probably will get more. We pray for a treatment that will get rid of the mets permanantly. Modern times have led us to better treatments with each year that passes.
I have a her2+ friend who had a good sized brain met about 4 years ago and it has not returned; it was cut out, but I dont know by what process. She also had WBR.
Praying for your healing.
