Good news on brain mets
Hello all,
Had restults from CT-scan on abdomen and head yesterday. The mets in liver ar still all gone and mets in the brain are practicly gone, but not quite. My doctor said they have shrinked in this 2 months since radiation more than anyone could hope for or expect. They will continue shrinking, he said, because it takes longer time to deal with mets in the brain than in organs. Í also have regression in the bones. As he said: This is so good and there is hardly any cancer in your body. He himself was thrilled and I was like mummy and stared and had nothing to say in the beginning.
I´m of course thankful and humble and today I'm enjoying the beautiful autumn sun and colors.
I will continue on herceptin weekly at least till februar (one year). I just wanted to share with you this good news and thank you all for support and information. This site has done so much for me because one has to understand what one is facing and dealing with.

Again thanks for all support
