Katherine,

Glad you are through the cyber-knife and I really loved your description of how surreal it all was. I think that with every scan or MRI. You captured the enormity of the experience so eloquently. Brave, brave lady!

I harken back to Flori's mother's words of wisdom, "do not write the ending" of your story. How you will respond to your treatment plan is your story. My feeling is that you are going to do very well and that 60th milestone is very much in your future. It is wonderful to have so many to share the journey with on this site. We have many long term survivors with brain mets here. You will be one more!
