Re: Gamma Knife A Success but more brain mets
Invasive weed seedlings, that's what they are. It sounds like the gamma knife "pulls" them out one by one, while the Herceptin is the weed killer. I like the idea of strengthening the weed killer, like Joan and Becky suggest. Sorry if that sounds too simple, but I try to frame cancer in terms I can understand. We're not doctors here, but there is an amazing amount of knowledge on this board.
Stage IV CAN become NED.
