Re: Brain mets
I really need to hear what you ladies have gone through with WBR. How successful or anything you have to share. Everything I read seems like a death scentence. I have a 12 year old daughter with Asperburger's (Autistic) and she needs me more now than ever. I am very scared and worried. Any encouraging stories would be helpful right now. Thanks Sally
