Brain mets

Joe,

Thanks for your reply and the encouraging news about your wife, Christine. I've read about a Christine who helped start this site, is it her? I've been checking out this site most of the day since I learned about it from breastcancer.org. Unfortunately I just heard from Gail's husband yesterday about the brain tumor, and this morning they said she has no other cancer sites according to the tests. But I think her oncologist is late to the party once again. I think this is strike 3 for him as far as I'm concerned. I'm in California and she is doing what the doctor is ordering -- her husband is with her. I don't think the onc has done a single MRI on her since she had her reoccurrence and started herceptin over 2 years ago. Now the tumor is 4 cm and I doubt that happened overnight. I think that's over the limit for the radiation-type noninvasive surgery, from what I read. I thank you for your encouraging words. At least I'm armed with some information to share with her, and I can't wait to tell her about this web site,

Sandy
