Re: if had or brain mets please share your knowledge
Virginia - Thanks so much for telling your story. Today will be my 3rd wbr tx. So far too early to no what se I will have. I am on 12 mg decadron and so far that has really helped be get rid of headaches and dizzy feeling. Disturbs sleep but hasn't been intolerable yet. Please keep me up to date on how things are going for you. I seem to be following right behind you in this experience. My biggest met is 2.6 cm and I want to ask what targeted rad could be used if needed on that after i'm done with the 20 wbr txs. I was on tykerb/herceptin before this dx so I guess I won't do me any good to resume is. I had just been switched to my 1st dose of halaven the Monday before brain mets were found. I'll probably to back to that, but I don't think that crosses the brain barrier.
Best wished to you Virginia Girl now that the wbr is done and I hope all those se disappear quickly and you can get on the t=dm1 soon. Pam
