The Oncologist just called, my husband's MRI showed Brain Mets and we are off to treatment (Herceptin) and then to radiation today. I am so depressed, this set back was not something I thought I would hear today. The doctor called me because my husband was hard of hearing before treatment and it is even worse now. I have to go home and try to tell him this news. Oh my God girls, I just want to scream!!

Anything you can say to me right now would help, we have never been down this road before and I am taken a-back.

I know with breast cancer you need to expect anything, but not in my wildest thoughts did I think this would happen NOW!!!!

HELP US PLEASE
