Brenda,
Please don't misunderstand the notes to you following my best wishes that they find just the right treatment for you. I have watched your postings as closely as I can.
I will be watching what you go through and the treatments you opt for very closely. They just informed me yesterday that the brain met that they zapped twice with stereotactic is continuing to grow. Monday I meet with the brain surgeon and will have to begin making decisions. Because I live in Upper Michigan and there is only one medical center, my options up here are quite limited and I will need to travel for treatment (I believe).
Your posting info/answers will be helpful to me as well, so I hope you don't mind me following the answers you get closely.
Stay positive!
Barb
