Re: brain mets
Mom Update:
Just returned from Mayo clinic (7 hr car ride). Mom's bone mets are stable as well as nothing in liver. Her brain mets, post WBR, went from 8 to 4 lesions. Doing another MRI in 4 weeks to see if WBR has removed anymore tumors. Gamma Knife down the road......after WBR finishes it's job.
Good news.
Mom is still on flasodex and Herceptin for below neck treatment. Zometa to strengthen/heal bones.
Her oncologist told her there is not a "pill" or "chemo" that will go past the brain barrier. Is that what you all understand? She said there have been new studies done with something they thought worked, but did not.
Thanks for all the support and feedback.
