It is very disheartning to see these MRI's esp. when there are multiple mets.
My wife, Linda has just finished the ALLOS trial with WBR and I can't say enough (so far) in suport of it. They have very promising results in their previous trials in BC patients. As well, one of our members, Patty Z, is experiencing remarkable results with the Lapatinib / tremodar trial.

This is all a matter of personal choice but the message that rings true on this site: brain mets is NOT a death sentance. Research has shown that just staying on herceptin after your mets treatment will also work in your favour.

Good luck,
Al
