Echo the advice of a second opinion because I know for sure that there are drugs and procedures that allow us to control brain mets. My husband has been controlling them for over 2 years. I have a list of drugs that are being studied just for this reason but I am sitting and cannot get to my notes. Do not leave out these studies because these drugs will all have their place on the lists of future options. Hang in there because with time and education you will not feel so scared and hope will fill those voids.>>Believe51

PS: I will pull a couple of important research and posts that will help ease your mind. I just need time, my hands are quite full at the moment.
