Thank you ladies for your reply. Your replies helped me with my paranoia. Funny how 3 yrs. ago I would not have thought twice about a pimple on my arm!!

Believe, I just read your post, there are so many weapons these days to fight this beast. Read past post, so many women here have had brain mets. They use a gamma knife for the procedure. From what I have read, people are home the very next day because the surgery is less invasive due to the gamma knife. Be strong for your husband, you are his most valuable weapon.
