Dear LuAnn,
I've been worried about you! Sounds like the last couple of weeks have been too exciting. From your description, WBR sounds like it is a sanity and life saver treatment for you. Symptoms from brain mets are SCARY! Mine were just beginning, and even though I thought I was just getting extraordinarily klutzy (I had a cerebellar tumor), finding out the cause of the headaches, my museum quality bruises from running into things and my inability to pass all the neurological tests (like finger to nose with my eyes closed) took me days to get used to. Decadron is a mlixed blessing too- I felt GREAT at first: super clear thinking and my old energy as well! OF course, that soon changed and it took two tries to get titrated off the stuff. Three weeks later, I'm delighted to be losing the amazing "moon face", the Santa Belly, and the buffalo hump on my back are very slowly going down, and my skin doesn't feel like it's only one cell layer deep... I think it's up to 3 cells deep instead. But for all it's miserable side effects, Decadron sure made life more livable when I needed it. Hope it is doing the same for you.
Know that you and your family stay in my thoughts and prayers.
Warmest regards, Rentrac
