Esther,
My heart goes out to you. How devasting that this is recurring. Hopefully the GammaKnife will take care of this pesky met once and for all. I don't think that this means you are failing on your treatment plan. Everyone is different and it may be just a matter of time until the Tykerb/Xeldo kick in and do their magic. I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this again but you did it before and you can do it again! Keep positive thoughts. I will be praying that the Gammaknife procedure will just blast this met into oblivion! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
