What a surprise, Steph! But welcome to my boat. Unfortunately, there's room for many more.
Like you and others, I had NO SYMPTOMS. I was scheduled for my 3 month CT scan and requested an MRI for the brain since I knew they were more sensitive. I ended up with from 7-20 small tumors and had to have WBR as you probably remember. I wanted Cyberknife, but the size/amount made me a candidate for the very thing that is demonizing Mary, a tumor sliding down the spinal cord.
You sound right on target about everything. This will be easy for you, I'm sure. You know, interesting about your tumor markers. Mine actually declined around the time the brain mets were discovered. Right in the normal range. But they started going up after treatment, which can happen with radiation. Of course, I also came up with the lymph node mets shortly thereafter.
I wish you the best for your treatments and do keep us posted.
Love and healing light,
Lisa
