It is my husband who has Stage IV Inflammatory HER2+ breast cancer, he has mets to all bones and now the brain. I cannot offer any advice about the lung issues you are having but I can keep you in our prayers.

After whole brain and pelvis radiation he shall be scanned in case we need the gamma knife procedure, then it is off to Tykerb/Xeloda, as Donna has mentioned she is on. This combination has helped many of my friends on the site and directly in my life. Just a thought to suggest to you and your dooctor.

Many women here have had lung mets and I know they can give you more support than I, but I had to reply to you because I have heard that worry in my sweet husbands voice. What I do know is the feelings that you are sharing (especially because of your parents histories), even though I am not the one ill. You have come to the right place for feedback, prayers and the support you so much need right now.

I am going to include you in those prayers and positive vibes will follow. Keep the faith as much as you can through this new road of your journey, we shall be right here for anything you may need!!

Waiting For A Miracle....and commanding one soon!!!>>Believe51
