HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Working thread - what do you think the HER2+ standard of care should be really?

I received my 2nd dx of brain mets nearly 2 years after my original HER2+ dx in 2014. Now I'm dealing with this and was initially offered surf/wbrt/chemo. Not keen on the wbrt so searched for a 2nd opinion and now on a clinical trial. I'll find our the prelim results next week and am hoping for another radiation therapy (stereotactic, gamma knife) besides wbrt. Too young (just turned 41), wife and mom - shouldn't be going through this. Hate cancer and can't believe my original onc did not do MRI testing on my brain to find these lesions sooner. She basically took my life away from me!!
