Re: brain mets
I have brain mets now, and I am undergoing the whole brain radiation. I don't really know exactly what the brain mets mean for my prognosis as far as time and what have you. I am hopeful to knock them back with the whole brain radiation, and maybe eradicate them after with cyberknife, but I won't know much until the treatments are complete and we can scan to see where we sit. I still have tumor in my liver, which I take Herceptin for every three weeks, and we are scanning next week to see where that sits and what I need to do next. How is your Mom after the whole brain radiation?
