Hooray for Gamma Knife!

[CourtneyL]

Ladies and Gentleman of the HER2 Support Group,

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the results of my latest Brain MRI. I had Gamma Knife to 10, count em, 10 lesions. Yesterday's Brain MRI showed no new spots and the existing spots were nearly all gone. My onc is positive that what the scan is showing is necrotic (dead) tissue. As the results of Gamma take several months to fully be realized, we weren't expect to have the spots completely disappear at this point. But I'll take nearly gone and I'll take no new mets!

Hooray Gamma Knife! And Hooray to all of you who encouraged me to get Gamma instead of WBR. And Hooray to all of you who told me I could do this and to never give up. And Hooray to God! He has answered my prayers.

Love and hugs to you all!

Hooray Courtney too don't forgot. High fives! Well done.

BTW, my too many to count multiple lesions in my liver (in '98) decreased in size and then were determined by 2 out of 3 radiologists to be necrotic tissue. I still have them!

But I took my *in cautious remission* and ran! You do the same! Enjoy! You rock.
